Summary

In his first cookbook, Kwame Onwuachi - "the most important chef in America" (San Francisco Chronicle) - shares the dishes of his America, dishes that show the true diversity of American food. Featuring more than 125 recipes, My America is a celebration of the food of the African diaspora, as handed down through Onwuachi's own family history, spanning Nigeria to the Caribbean, the American South to the Bronx, and beyond. From Nigerian Jollof Rice, Puerto Rican Red Bean Sofrito, and Trinidadian Channa (Chickpea Curry) to Jambalaya, Baby Back Ribs, and Red Velvet Cake, these are Onwuachi's spins on global home recipes that represent the best of the patchwork that is American cuisine. Interwoven throughout the book are stories of Onwuachi's travels, illuminating the connections between food and place, and food and culture. The result is a deeply personal tribute to the food of "a land that belongs to you and yours and to me and mine."
