Rezensionen

It s the kind of book that belongs both on your coffee table and in your regular kitchen rotation. Eater

The book reveals the importance of food and community from diverse perspectives and encompasses Black cuisines from the Caribbean, the U.S., and across the African continent. And while cooking is central throughout, Black Food also sheds light on such issues as land access, spirituality, and the meaning of migratory patterns chosen and unchosen. Wall Street Journal

The book, which brings together a chorus of voices across the Black American diaspora, shape-shifts from recipes to art to essays, and you ll find something new every time you open the book to a different page. It s almost hard to

call it a cookbook, because you ll be gaining more than a few recipes from it. Bon Appétit

This collection of essays, visual art, playlists, poems, and recipes commissioned and curated from more than 100 chefs and spirits experts, artists, scholars, activists, journalists, and leaders feels like a holy pursuit for Terry in its faithful documentation of the rites, rituals, and history of the nourishment of Black bodies, minds, and spirits, as well as a pulpit from which to share the gospel of self and community care. But unlike an ecclesiastical relic hidebound, carved in stone, set out of reach Terry means this book to be a living, evolving thing, accessible to all. Food & Wine

Black Food is a cookbook, and a delight to use as such (think Peach Hand Pies, Okra and Shrimp Purloo, and Jerk Chicken Ramen), but more important, it s a testament to diverse cultures around the world and their foodways that includes literature about resources, agriculture, cooking and community. Food activist and writer Terry ( Vegetable Kingdom ) adds generous dollops of joy, too. Washington Post

Food activist Terry s Black Food reaches well beyond the scope of a cookbook, bringing together essays, poems, illustrations, stories, and recipes to pay homage to Black culinary art. Alta Journal

Black Food is simply gorgeous. Mouthwatering, visually stunning, and intoxicating, Black Food tells a global story of creativity, endurance, and imagination that was sustained in the face of dispersal, displacement, and oppression. Imani Perry, Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University

Food activist Terry s Black Food reaches well beyond the scope of a cookbook, bringing together essays, poems, illustrations, stories, and recipes to pay homage to Black culinary art. Alta Journal

Numerous books of this kind have been published in the last few years, and this one outshines them all, particularly because of Bryant s acute vision of bringing together a mix of voices and people who form this distinct, yet loose definition of Black Food. Edward Lee, chef and author of Buttermilk Graffiti and Smoke and Pickles

Black Food is an important and necessary book, a kaleidoscopic, almost dizzying vision of the foods of the African Diaspora that not only connects Africa and the US but reaches out to the Caribbean and Brazil. I hear the voices of a complex community of Black cooks and food writers some seasoned professionals, others enthusiastic newcomers who have each made sense of the African Diaspora in their own terms. Black Food is a trailblazing book on the crossroad of time and space and imbued with the irreverent eclecticism of Afrofuturism. Maricel Presilla, chef, culinary historian, and author of Peppers of the Americas

The diverse cooking of delicious food inspired by all parts of the Americas, Africa, and other influences make this book one of the most important of this generation. Todd Richards, author of Soul: A Chef s Culinary Evolution in 150 Recipes and owner of Lake & Oak Neighborhood BBQ and Soul: Food and Culture

Black Food showcases the profound world of Black culture and its influence. A very important addition to this year s offerings, historic. Frank Stitt, author of Frank Stitt s Southern Table and owner of Highlands Bar and Grill and Bottega

This exuberant work cooked up by James Beard Award winning chef Terry is way more than a notable collection of recipes. Stuffed with essays, poetry, and artwork from a cast of brilliant creatives with their finger on the pulse of Black culture and the culinary world, it sweeps readers from West Africa to Jamaica to New York with sumptuous stories that feed the soul. Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2021 Lifestyle

Whether read straight through or browsed section by section, this meaningful book brings Black foodways into focus and will leave a lasting impact. Library Journal
