Opis

Between Harlem and Heaven showcases the Afro-Asian-American cuisine and the unique culinary creations of J.J. Johnson and Alexander Smalls, following the culinary trail of the African diaspora. This book branches far beyond "soul food" to explore the melding of Asian, African, and American flavors. The Afro Asian flavor profile of BETWEEN HARLEM AND HEAVEN is a window into the intersection of the Asian diaspora and the African diaspora. An homage to this cultural culinary path and the grievances and triumphs along the way, Between Harlem and Heaven isn't fusion, but a glimpse into a cuisine that developed in the thick of Harlem's cultural renaissance. Heritage food brings together everything we've developed a passion for: sustainability, farm to table, eat local, think global. The food in Between Harlem and Heaven is a modern take on heritage food. People are used to getting strong flavors in hidden hole-in-the wall spots. JJ Johnson and Alexander Smalls bring those flavors and rich cultural history into your home kitchen with recipes for Grilled Watermelon Salad with Lime Mango Dressing and Cornbread Croutons, Feijoada with Black Beans and Spicy Lamb Sausage, Creamy Macaroni and Cheese Casserole with Rosemary and Caramelized Shallots, festive punches and flavorful easy sides, sauces, and marinades to incorporate into your everyday cooking life.Complete with essays on the history of Minton's Jazz Club, the melting pot that is Harlem, and the Afro-Asian flavor profile by bestselling coauthor Veronica Chambers, who just published the wildly successful YES, CHEF by Marcus Samuelsson, this cookbook brings the rich history of the Harlem food scene back to the home cook.
