Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking by James Beard Award–winning culinary historian, journalist, and author Toni Tipton-Martin is a landmark cookbook that celebrates the extraordinary depth, diversity, and sophistication of African American culinary traditions through more than 100 meticulously researched recipes spanning over two centuries. Building on the groundbreaking scholarship of The Jemima Code, Tipton-Martin reclaims the legacy of Black cooks by highlighting recipes that range from everyday family favorites and Southern comfort foods to elegant dishes that have shaped American cuisine. Blending historical research, cultural storytelling, and approachable recipes—including classics such as Sweet Potato Biscuits, Seafood Gumbo, Buttermilk Fried Chicken, and Pecan Pie with Bourbon—Jubilee is both a powerful tribute to African American culinary excellence and an essential cookbook that preserves and honors one of America's richest food traditions.
