Fried chicken, fried fish, chitlins, greens, black-eyed peas, candied yams, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, hot sauce, red drink, banana pudding, peach cobbler, pound cake and sweet potato pie. What insights into African American history may be gleaned from a typical soul food meal or the history of signature soul food, which combines the ingredients and culinary traditions of West Africa, Europe and the Americas?

 

Join James Beard Award-winning author, historian and storyteller Adrian Miller for an informative and entertaining presentation on the history and historical context of this distinctive cuisine. 

 

Learn about contemporary trends for soul food and some predictions for where this cuisine may be headed. If we are lucky, we may even get some recommendations for the best spots in town!
