Modern Soul Food Recipes

These recipes are remixes of Big Mama's soul food classic recipes that can be eaten every day including busy weeknights. They are fusion recipes blending traditional soul food ingredients with cuisines and techniques from around the world.

They balance African American culinary traditions against modern lifestyles focused on convenience, health, and global flavors.

Even more so, they are about both elevating and changing the narrative around soul food by offering healthier versions that are connected to modern techniques and global flavor trends.

It also serves the purpose of reminding us that soul food is farm to table, i.e. it is rooted in food that is real, vegetable-centric, and local. You will find twists on classics ingredients like roasted watermelon steaks, grilled sweet potatoes, and blistered okra and tomatoes.
