The superior talent of black cooks is lauded. Whether making humble dishes in the slave cabin, or elegant fare for the mansion table, dark-skinned cooks welded the â kitchen scepterâ with skill and creativity. Recipes for such fare as â Hog Maw Salad,â â Limping Susan,â â Plantation Shortcake,â and â Molasses Taffyâ pepper the book. â â De eats wuz goodâ ¦â as Aron Carter remembered. Such â eatsâ are â The Roots of Soul Food.â
109 endnotes will assist those who wish to learn more about the subject, and the first-person accounts in the text will be remembered and even read out loud to others. Created as a resource for museums, Plantation Row Slave Cabin Cooking is a follow-up to the author's earlier popular book Soul on Rice: African Influences on American Cooking.
