25 Black History Month Recipes

Several people have started to search the site for Black History Month recipes. As such, I am posting this updated compilation of my favorite recipes from the African diaspora…

25 Black History Month Recipes

As I have written in the past, you can tell a lot about a culture and its history by exploring its food. What is now typically called “soul food” had its roots in African staples merged with the inexpensive foods that were given to African-American slaves.

In current times, there are a variety of foods eaten by Black people – from healthy African-influenced classics to food influenced by other cultures.  As a southern gal, there’s nothing quite like traditional (fried, “smothered”, etc.) soul food as an occasional treat though!

While I still have mixed thoughts about February being Black History Month, I enjoy being able to share food and recipes from the African diaspora. As such, I am sharing some of my favorite African, Caribbean and southern “soul food” Black History Month recipes below:
