A mother-daughter duo reclaims and redefines soul food by mining the traditions of four generations of black women and creating 80 healthy recipes to help everyone live longer and stronger.
In May 2012, bestselling author Alice Randall penned an op-ed in the New York Times titled “Black Women and Fat,” chronicling her quest to be “the last fat black woman” in her family. She turned to her daughter, Caroline Randall Williams, for help. Together they overhauled the way they cook and eat, translating recipes and traditions handed down by generations of black women into easy, affordable, and healthful—yet still indulgent—dishes, such as Peanut Chicken Stew, Red Bean and Brown Rice Creole Salad, Fiery Green Beans, and Sinless Sweet Potato Pie. Soul Food Love relates the authors’ fascinating family history (which mirrors that of much of black America in the twentieth century), explores the often fraught relationship African-American women have had with food, and forges a powerful new way forward that honors their cultural and culinary heritage. This is what the strong black kitchen looks like in the twenty-first century.

Review
“Soul Food Love has preserved our traditions but reinvented how they’re prepared. Its focus on health is a godsend.”
—Viola Davis
“Two brilliant writers, novelist Alice Randall and her daughter, poet Caroline Randall Williams, have set out here on a mission to do nothing less than extend black women’s lives. They do this by sharing their encyclopedic knowledge of African American foodways and their versions of how soul food can be healthfully prepared. This beautifully written compendium is literary history, cookbook, family album, motherwit, daughter-grace, and the gospel truth. Alice and Caroline include family history that seeks to tell the tough truth, plus absolutely delicious recipes as well as photographs that showcase the soul-pleasing aesthetics of an exquisitely set table and a lovingly presented meal. I’ll be cooking from this book for years to come, and every time I turn to it, I will treasure the wisdom and pure pleasure within.”
—Elizabeth Alexander, poet and professor
“Like Proust’s madeleine, the exquisite prose and delicious recipes in Soul Food Love carry us to a sacred place of memory. In telling their family story, Alice and Caroline help a fractured nation rediscover its history. More than a cookbook, this is an act of redemption for Americans of every color.”
—Susan Fales-Hill, author of Always Wear Joy
“This wonderful book answers one of life’s most important questions: Can I eat some tasty, soulful food without killing myself? Because I don’t want to choose between flavor and health. Thanks to Soul Food Love, I don’t have to.”
—Reginald Hudlin, director of Boomerang and producer of The Boondocks and Django Unchained
“Soul Food Love is a feast. Alice Randall and Caroline Randall Williams serve up morsels of flavor and love spanning three centuries, five kitchens, and six states. With tender, poetic memories, they lift the ancestors up, stirring cherished family recipes with ingredients for a healthier future.”
—A’Lelia Bundles, author of On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C. J. Walker
"Readers of The Wind Done Gone (Mariner) and Ada's Rules (Bloomsbury) know that author Alice Randall can write. Who knew that she could throw down in the kitchen? The novelist combines her literary and culinary skills for Soul Food Love. Joined by her daughter, Caroline Randall Williams, Alice whips up savory dishes remixed with healthy ingredients that your tast buds and spirits are certain to appreciate."
—Essence
“[T]his is a book about redefining soul food for the future, not romanticizing its often calorie-laden past.”
—The New York Times
“[Soul Food Love] shows how a little creativity and smart ingredient swaps can take a century’s worth of family recipes and make them healthier.”
—Parade
“The book is beautifully written, and the recipe and photos are mouthwatering.”
—The San Diego Union-Tribune
“This is a book that will resonate with those who value their culinary heritage and are looking for ways to ensure that heritage leads to a healthy future.”
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Really read it before you judge
By M. Ringe
I found this in review on yahoo food. It seemed intriguing. I used to work in an African-American school and the dean of students would sometimes bring in soul food and it was so ridiculously delicious that when I learned of this book, I thought I would try a soul food cooking spell. Since I'm working on eating more healthfully the premise seemed perfect.
The first time through, I just skimmed the recipes. A lot of them where things that I already made in some form or another. A lot of what I as an outsider to the African American community think of as soul food wasn't quite there and a lot of what was there didn't seem to fit in with soul food (e.g. baba ghanoush). I skimmed the recipes back to front and a lot of the first recipes are kind of what I think of as non recipes (tequila ice was not a type of granita or something equally fascinating but pouring two finger of tequila over ice; there is another recipe for putting fruit in ice cubes).
But then I really read the book, cover to cover and it made more sense. This is less about soul food or any other kind of cooking and more like the personal cookbook of this family, with the legacy of their many cooking styles all wrapped up inside of it. The writing is very beautiful and I did give me perspective being an African American woman in the 20th century and what food meant or didn't mean, at least for these women and this family.
I now think of this recipe book more as a privileged insight into a family and their kitchens and it works much better as such than as the soul food Bible I may have been looking for. Perusing through the recipes more carefully, my versions of a lot of the dishes and their versions are quite different in many respects and I look forward to trying out different varieties.
The book itself is quite beautiful and I think every dish has a picture. There are pleasing margins and it's nice thick paper. It's a sturdy book that should hold up over the years. The only reason I did take off as star is the "non-recipes." There aren't a ton of recipes in this book and the fact that there are several recipes of the tequila ice variety does annoy me. I know their audience includes those with no cooking skills, but I think it's a little excessive.

Oh my word
By Cindy A. Barriga
I assumed this cookbook would be good just not this good, my goodness. I usually do not enjoy cookbooks because I feel so guilty for not cooking better than I can, but the recipes are so doable and sound delicious. I was moaning reading and reviewing the list of recipes and I cannot wait to try my hands at the adventures of recreating these yummy meals. Soul Food Love by Alice Randall and Caroline Randall Williams is the best and most home cook friendly recipe book ever of soul food. I loved all the photos and the stories and I have to be honest I would re-read this book just for the fun of it, it is that enjoyable. The best part is that the book is bound in one of those colors that will stand out on the shelf making it the go-to book for recipes. I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review and all opinions are my own.

Yummy Easy to make recipes that won't break the bank and are full of the authors family history
By Gidget Girl Reading
I am a collector of books and cookbooks are no different, I love cookbooks! I love finding new recipes and making new dishes. Soul Food Love is really 3 books in 1. It's a book full of history, its a cookbook and it is a collection of personal family stories. That makes this book so neat and different from other cook books that I own and have read. Yes, you read right I said read a cookbook. I am a foodie at heart and love reading cookbooks cover to cover just like a regular book. Soul Food Love is a book that will push me out of my comfort zone and make me try new foods.
The first 70 + pages is all about their family history and talks about how this cookbook came about. It is a compilation of 5 kitchens, 3 generations and 100 years. It is also about how the recipes in the book are from "baby girls" kitchen and how she wanted to make their long cherished recipes healthy. I really don't think any of the recipes call for anything you can't get at your local grocery store or super target or walmart. In the late spring to late fall you could grow a lot of the ingredients in your garden.
The recipe categories are divided up into Sips and Bites, Soups, Main Dishes, Sides and Salads Desserts, Crowns and For a Crowd. There are some I will make over and over and some I just skip just like any cookbook or foodie magazine.
Favorites of mine from each section:
Sips and Bites: Southern Hummus and Black Eyes Pea Hummus ( that uses natural peanut butter not the expensive hard to find sesame paste! Score, Win Win!), Homemade Salsa with Cucumber Chips (great flavorful salsa with sliced cucumbers), Homemade Peanut Butter (which you can use in the hummus recipes)
Soups: Sweet Potato Broth (which I would consider similar to pureed tomato soup only better because it's sweet potatoes!), Broccoli Soup, Chicken Broth (which I really need to start making and stop buying),
Main Dishes: Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Onion, Spicy Pepper Chicken (YUM!), Turkey Burgers ( a favorite in our house), Red and Black Bean Burgers (great for Lent Fridays or a meatless "meaty" burger), Sweet Potato Kale and Black Eyed Pea Soup (not sure why this isn't in the soup section but who cares it is yummy!) Red Beans and Brown Rice Creole Salad, and lastly one that only my husband eats and loves Salmon Croquettes with dill sauce (I stay away from all things ocean wise. He loves these!)
Sides and Salads: A Mess of Greens (love me some greens!), Simple Spinach, Broccoli with peanuts and raisins, Roasted Asparagus with lemon zest, Roasted Green Onions, Any Day Snap Beans (this one is just like what my Grandma in South Carolina made. Brings back memories of spending hours snapping those beans and talking!), Fiery Green Beans, Sweet Potato Skewers, Links Salad (I could eat this whole recipe all by myself) , Savory Avocado Salad with Corn Peppers and Cilantro (this is not quac, it is so good, tasty and filling!), Chopped Spinach and Turkey Salad, Herbed Corn and the Cob, Old School Salad Plate revisited
Crowns: Cauliflower Crown and Crepe Stack
For A Crowd: Bills Whole Smoked Turkey, Breakfast Casserole and another one my husband eats that he loves and I have to take his word and empty plate for it: Herb roasted Salmon filet.
As you can see there are a lot of post flags coming out of this book and so many yummy new foods to rotate through out our menu. I'm glad I was able to review Soul Food Love and I hope you enjoy the stories and recipes as much I have if you pick up a copy.
thank you blogging for books and Crown Publishing for sending me a review copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own and were no way influenced by the free book.
