How to Cook dishes from the Soul Food tradition
Soul food is the traditional food of the African-American community in
the southern United States.
Although, soul food originated in the South, it can now be found in most African-American
communities in the country, including all major cities.
Some popular soul food recipes and dishes include:
- Chitterlings (also known as "chitlins") - Slow cooked pig intensines.
They are cleaned then cooked by boiling or stewing, and then
often battered and fried.
They are usually eaten with vinegar and
hot sauce.
- Chow-chow - A spicy pickle relish made from mixed vegetables and served cold.
- Country fried steak - A piece of beef steak coated with seasoned flour and then fried.
It is usually eaten with white cream gravy, beans, and mashed potatoes.
The dish is also sometimes known as "chicken fried steak", not because it contains chicken
(it does not), but simply because the preparation method resembles that used for fried chicken.
- Cracklins - Fried pork rinds.
- Fried chicken - Chicken coated in seasoned flour and then deep-fried.
- Fried fish - Fish coated in seasoned cornmeal flour and deep-fried.
Catfish are most commonly used, but other fish can be used too.
- Gumbo - This is a Cajun and Creole recipe
that also been adopted into Soul Food. It is a
soup made from meat or shellfish stock,
bell peppers, celery, and onion.
The soup also usually contains poultry, smoked pork, and local shellfish
such as
crab,
crawfish or
shrimp. Other items such as
andouille (a sausage made from smoked pork, chitterlings, onions, wine
and seasoning) and tasso (smoked pork shoulder) are often added to the recipe,
which can give it smokey flavor.
- Grits - A thick maized-based porridge.
It can be eaten with breakfast, or served with fish or meat at dinner.
- Hog maws - Pig stomach sliced and cooked with chitterlings.
- Hushpuppies - Deep-fried balls of cornmeal (maize) bread.
- Johnny cakes - Fried cornmeal (maize) pancakes.
- Oxtail soup - A soup made from beef tails.
- Pig's feet - Slow-cooked and sometimes pickled. They are often eaten
with vinegar and
hot sauce.
- Succotash - Corn, tomatoes and butter beans cooked in butter.

THERE'S ONLY ONE THING THAT COOLIO'S BEEN DOING LONGER THAN RAPPING: COOKINGCoolio started making thirty-minute meals when he was ten years old and has since developed a whole new cuisine: Ghetto Gourmet. His recipes are built around solid comfort foods with a healthy twist that don't break the bank. Start your Ghetto Gourmet adventure with some "Soul Rolls," follow-up with "Finger-Lickin', Rib-Stickin', Fall-Off-the-Bone-and-into-Your-Mouth Chicken," and fi nish off with "Banana Ba-ba-ba-bread" sweetened with golden honey. Chapters such as "How to Become a Kitchen Pimp," "Chillin' and Grillin'," and "Pasta Like a Rasta" will guide you through creating 5 star meals at a 1 star price. You can't fi nd fusions like Blasian (black Asian) or Ghettalian (ghetto Italian) in restaurants, but you can have them cooking away in your kitchen faster and easier than ordering takeout. As Coolio says, "All you need is a little bit of food, and a little bit of know-how." |

Sylvia's Family Soul Food Cookbook begins as Sylvia recalls her childhood, when she lived with both her mother and her grandmother -- the town's only midwives. The entire community of Hemingway, South Carolina, shared responsibilities, helped raise all of the children, and worked side by side together every day in the bean fields. Perhaps most important, the community shared its food and recipes. When Sylvia set out to write this cookbook, she decided to hold a cook-off back home in Hemingway at Jeremiah Church. Family and friends of all ages shared their favorite dishes as well as their spirit and love for one another. The recipes offered at the cook-off were then compiled to create this incredible collection, along with many of Sylvia's and the Woods family's own recipes.Here are the kinds of recipes you'd find if you visited the Woods family's home. Sylvia's daughter Bedelia is well known for her Barbecued Beef Short Ribs, which are as sassy and spicy as Bedelia herself. Kenneth, Sylvia's youngest son, has loved to fish ever since he was a child, spending his summers by the fishing hole in Hemingway. Now Kenneth's son, DeSean, enjoys fishing, too. Kenneth's Honey Lemon Tilefish, DeSean's favorite, is just one of Kenneth's special recipes presented here. And there are many, many other wonderful dishes, too. In this remarkable cookbook, Sylvia has gathered more than 125 soul food classics, including mouthwatering recipes for okra, collard greens, Southern-style pound cakes, hearty meat and seafood stews and casseroles, salads, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and more. These recipes are straight from the heart of the Woods community of family and friends. Now Sylvia gives them to you to share with your loved ones. Bring them into your home and experience a little bit of Hemingway's soul. |
