Tried making Beaten Biscuits, an old American Southern-style biscuit dating back to the Antebellum South. These are harder than the fluffy buttermilk biscuits of today and are made by beating the dough for ~30 mins due to lack of access to leavening agents back then. Followed a recipe from Michael Twitty’s (KosherSoul) book The Cooking Gene. Fitbit thought I was doing a workout.

Sautéed onions, bell peppers, and garlic being prepped for some red beans and rice. Already browned some andouille sausage, and rinsed and sorted the beans. The house smells amazing, and it’s only going to get better! #CajunCooking #Cajun #SouthernCooking #SundayIsWashday

A classic cold weather comfort food, chicken and dumplings! First pic is the broth and second the finished product. Delicious!

Working on collard greens made with bone broth & caramelized onion& garlic, baked butternut squash lightly roasted w/ olive oil, & grilled chicken breasts for lunches (& who knows—snacks? Breakfasts?) for this week & some to freeze. Cooking collard greens properly takes quite a bit of prep time, but it’s totally worth it. I’m infinitely grateful for the American Indian and African communities from who pieces of this meal historically originate. #SouthernHistory #SouthernCooking #GlobalCommunity

Cooking can be a source of connection to one’s culture and history, and this is particularly true of both Jewish cuisine and soul food. Michael Twitty on creating kosher soul food, and his recipe for Louisiana-style latkes. https://momentmag.com/michael-twittys-kosher-soul-food/

Made some traditional new year’s foods. I’ve got a few bits left for tomorrow but every bit of good luck is worth the effort. #yummyfood #SouthernCooking
