Description
"Soul and Spice" is a recipe collection that spotlights African-influenced cuisines from the Western hemisphere.

The recipes are sorted by food style, such as Soul Food, Barbecue, and Louisiana Creole. They're also categorized by place of origin like Bahia, Brazil, and the Caribbean, and by the people who brought them to America. Each recipe is complemented by detailed notes that provide historical context and personal anecdotes.
