I’m participating in the 2020 Juneteenth Cookout Takeover. This initiative was established to encourage the celebration of Juneteenth – a jubilee of freedom to commemorate the end of slavery – and to amplify the food traditions of black culinary creatives.
Juneteenth (a merge of the words/date June Nineteenth) marks the date in 1865 that the last enslaved people learned of their freedom.
And for over 150 years since, Black American families, home-cooks, chefs, and culinarians have commemorated the summer holiday with a wide range of food traditions that tell a story of the perseverance of a people.
I am very happy to share many recipes in this post from black chefs and food bloggers. Some folks who I have known for years and whose recipes I have shared before, and some folks who are new to me and who I am happy to introduce to you all.
One of the things that I enjoy the most about things like this is that I learn about so many recipes, cuisines, and food histories that I did not know myself. I like so many of us can at times be recipes locked into the foods that I grew up on and eat consistently now based on where I live, like my smothered okra with chicken and sausage. I am looking forward to trying many of the recipes here, and I hope you do as well.
The full list of recipes can be found here.
I've highlighted a few below.
Cooking to a T | Jamaican Beef Patties
Cooks With Soul | The Original BBQ in a Jar
Dash of Jazz | Golden Pineapple Pound Cake
Food Fidelity | Nigerian Beef Suya
Geo's Table | Curried Potato Salad
Lenox Baker | Sweet Potato Cheesecake

Sweet & Sorrel | Baked Jerk Chicken
My Fabulous Food |Black-Eyed Peas with Smoked Turkey
As always thank you for taking a few moments out of your day to read my blog. I hope that you my thoughts on Netflix’s food documentaries has intrigued you, and I hope that enjoy them as much as I do.

Ben
