Throughout her career, Toni Tipton-Martin has shed new light on the history, breadth, and depth of African American cuisine. She&s introduced us to black cooks, some long forgotten, who established much of what&s considered to be our national cuisine. After all, if Thomas Jefferson introduced French haute cuisine to this country, who do you think actually cooked it?

InJubilee,Tipton-Martin brings these masters into our kitchens. Through recipes and stories, we cook along with these pioneering figures, from enslaved chefs
 to middle- and upper-class writers and entrepreneurs. With more than 100 recipes, from classics such asSweet Potato Biscuits ,Seafood Gumbo ,Buttermilk Fried Chicken , andPecan Pie with Bourbon to lesser-known but even more decadent dishes likeBourbon & Apple Hot Toddies ,Spoon Bread , andBaked Ham Glazed with Champagne ,Jubileepresents techniques, ingredients, and dishes that show the roots of African American cooking-deeply beautiful, culturally diverse, fit for celebration.
