Sweet Home Café Cookbook: A Celebration of African American Cooking by NMAAHC, Jerome Grant, Albert Lukas, Jessica B. Harris, Lonnie G. Bunch III
2.0
While I appreciate the history lessons throughout, this is ultimately a cookbook and instead of pictures of people and other things I wanted more photos of the food. I'm not familiar with a lot of these dishes and would've appreciated being able to see the finished results. For me, pictures are super important in a cookbook because if I just wanted recipes I could easily look them up online.
There are also a ton of onions used and I know that's a super personal problem of mine but I really, really hate onions lol. #onionhate Way too many onions. Also includes quite a few proteins that I'm not interested in ever eating, like duck, chicken livers, and goat.
Someone who is more comfortable cooking these types of cuisines might not have the same issues I did. There were a few recipes I found interesting but overall this just wasn't for me.
