Listicles National Soul Food Month 2021

When I was working on 'Vampires Suck,' I must have watched 'Twilight' and 'New Moon' literally almost every day.

4 Heartwarming Soul Food Facts

1. Humble beginnings

   Cooks used their skills to turn cheap and unappealing cuts of meat into delicious meals.

2. All hail kale

   We only recently recognized kale as a "super food." Soul food has depended on it for ages.

3. "Red" is a flavor

   In a soul food restaurant, "red" means a drink — strawberry, cherry or tropical punch. No explanation required.

4. It is also for the vegan soul

   Soul cuisine has embraced many vegan recipes that are spicy, healthy, and delicious! Historically, chefs used seasonal vegetables to cook dishes — with meat thrown in mainly for flavoring.

Food mirrors its history. Soul food, for example, is a cuisine steeped in tradition. It began in the humble kitchens of African-American slaves as a one-pot meal cooked on a shelf over the fireplace. They had little to cook with, but they had memories of their home and love for their family. And the food reflects that. To remind us of this rich culinary tradition, the Culinary Historians of Chicago created National Soul Food Month in June. So while we enjoy these delicious foods, let’s not forget the history.
