Between Harlem and Heaven:
Afro-Asian-American Cooking for Big Nights, Weeknights, and Every Day by
JJ Johnson, Alexander Smalls, Veronica ChambersIn two of the most renowned and historic venues in Harlem, Alexander
Smalls and JJ Johnson created a unique take on the Afro-Asian-American
flavor profile. Their foundation was a collective three decades of
traveling the African diaspora, meeting and eating with chefs of color,
and researching the wide reach of a truly global cuisine; their
inspiration was how African, Asian, and African-American influences
criss-crossed cuisines all around the world. They present here for the
first time over 100 recipes that go beyond just one place, taking you,
as noted by The New Yorker, "somewhere between Harlem and heaven."
This
book branches far beyond "soul food" to explore the melding of Asian,
African, and American flavors. The Afro Asian flavor profile is a window
into the intersection of the Asian diaspora and the African diaspora.
An homage to this cultural culinary path and the grievances and triumphs
along the way, Between Harlem and Heaven isn't fusion, but a glimpse
into a cuisine that made its way into the thick of Harlem's cultural
renaissance.
JJ Johnson and Alexander Smalls bring these flavors and rich cultural history into your home kitchen with recipes for...
- Grilled Watermelon Salad with Lime Mango Dressing and Cornbread Croutons,
- Feijoada with Black Beans and Spicy Lamb Sausage,
- Creamy Macaroni and Cheese Casserole with Rosemary and Caramelized Shallots,
- Festive punches and flavorful easy sides, sauces, and marinades to incorporate into your everyday cooking life.
Complete
with essays on the history of Minton's Jazz Club, the melting pot that
is Harlem, and the Afro-Asian flavor profile by bestselling coauthor
Veronica Chambers, who just published the wildly successful Yes, Chef by
Marcus Samuelsson, this cookbook brings the rich history of the Harlem
food scene back to the home cook.
