African-American Recipes & Cookbooks

In the United States, there are around 39 million African-Americans, that is to say Americans who are ultimately descended from people from sub-Saharan Africa. African-Americans are the largest racial minority in the country.

African-Americans arrived in the United States via a number of different routes. The ancestors of many African-Americans were brought to the country as slaves, during the 19th century or earlier. Other African-Americans immigrated to the US voluntarily, from Africa, from the Caribbean, or from Latin America.

African-American cuisine reflects the nature of the African-American community. Some dishes, particularly what is known "Soul Food", trace their origins to American South, and in particular low-cost foods that were available to slaves. Other African-American dishes, include dishes influenced by Caribbean cuisine, Latin American cuisine, and of course, African cuisine.
