Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking: A Cookbook by Toni Tipton-Martin

5.0

Jubilee is my all-time favorite cookbook. I learned a lot from the narratives and the recipes themselves expanded my palette. The recipes have lots of layers of flavor so when I inevitably forget some ingredient, the food is still excellent and completely consumed by my husband and I. The meat recipes tend to be a little more complex so not a great fit for a weeknight meal but an awesome choice for weekend or special occasion treats. Everyone who has had the chocolate cake requests it for their next birthday so beware of making this food for friends -- you won't be able to make anything else!

I haven't made a lot because I've made some of these recipes 5+ times:
Honey-Soy Glazed Chicken Wings (Love)
Jambalaya (Miss)
Mashed Turnips and Carrots with Rum (Like)
Beef with Onions and Wine Stew (Like-- see below note. Will be adjusting and making again because I think I would love)
Caribbean Roast Pork (Love)
Barbecued Pork Shoulder (Love)
Jamaican Jerk Ribs (Love!!!)
Oven-Baked Ribs (Love)
Devil's Food Cake (Love)

Edit: The Dutch oven recipes that have you start stove top and then put the dish into the oven have been running out of liquid well before the end of the recommended time in the book. This may be because I'm using Le Cruset/cast iron but I'm not sure.

Also agree that the publisher should change the font. The 3/5s are killingggg me.
