Excellent text and recipes from African diaspora and historical Harlem

Reviewed in the United States on 1 May 2022

This book provides text describing the combined Southern, Western African, and Caribbean/Puerto Rican influences that shaped the cuisines of the authors of the book. It touches on their experiences and travels that defined the cuisine they serve at their Harlem supper club, much of it defined by the multiple centuries of the triangular trade of enslaved people.
I really enjoyed the text describing the history of Harlem and featuring many famous figures of the Harlem Renaissance. I understood some of the Southern, West African, and Caribbean foods that influence cuisine in Harlem, but I was not aware of the Asian influences present in Harlem. The history of popular Chinese and Indian restaurants nearly a hundred years ago was fascinating.
I enjoyed the vegetarian and vegetable recipes, and found the meat and fish offerings interesting. I will not be trying oxtails or goat,but am not a big eater of animal proteins to begin with. I really appreciated the seasonings, including some of the condiments provided. I believe they could be used to flavor vegetarian offerings and cuts of meat that may be more accessible to the average home cook/shopper. The book encourages improvisations.
