ASALH will explore food, culture and black family

ASALH will explore food, culture and black family traditions on Saturday, February 6th. Turnip and collard greens are staples of soul food cuisine. During slavery, the most common preparations for greens were to boil them with seasoning and pork fat. This style of eating was reminiscent to various traditional dishes in Africa.

Hope you will join us for our “From the Continent to the Americas: Foodways, Culture and Traditions in the Black Family” event and please submit your family’s favorite recipe to ASALH to be highlighted during our festival. Go to the link in the bio to submit your recipes.
