Not my cup of tea

I love Marcus Samuelson but I guess I didn’t do my research and it should have been obvious to me from title. These are not from him rather him showcasing others. Great but recipes were not what I was looking for and most too spicy for my digestion!

Makes a fantastic gift!! So much more than a cookbook!!

I am so glad to have purchased this cookbook. I love how each recipe has a story behind it. I actually purchased 10 more of this cookbook to give as gifts to my family and friends.

Definitly not a Soul Food Cookbook

More of a book of mini-bios of a few people of color with some experiences working in upscale restaurants that use a few African ingredients in preparing their menus. I was hoping for a detailed explanation for nuances such as "how to take the time to bloom the right spices and veggies in the right order to get soul into soul food.
