African-American/Soul Food

The food of the African diaspora is the cultural backbone of the United States. Learn African-American/Soul Food recipes that are near and dear to my heart and the hearts of many Black (and non-Black) Americans.

Learn about my roots with Black Eyed Peas made the old-school way, moist pound cakes that are a staple at every church bake sale, and drinks that honor my African culture. I've even created new recipes that celebrate typical African-American ingredients. Taste my Black Eyed Pea Salad with Collard Greens or cool down with my Sweet Potato Butter Pecan Frozen Custard.
