“This book is the first one I recommend to all cooks to understand the soul of our food. This foundational and profound memoir was my gateway into understanding the culinary poetry that is behind who we are. It’s as indispensable as hot sauce.”
—Michael W. Twitty, author of The Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South
“At first, If I Can Cook/ You Know God Can: African American Food Memories, Meditations, and Recipes by Ntozake Shange might seem to be a slim volume; do not be fooled. It is a rich, dense gumbo of food memories, history, recipes, and the special kind of magic that only Shange can create. She weaves a word tapestry of the history of the African Atlantic world that is wondrous indeed. I loved it the first time around; in this new version, it, like the rainbow, is more than enuf.”
—Jessica B. Harris, author of My Soul Looks Back: A Memoir and High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America
Praise for the first edition:
“Shange stirs and simmers the soul and moves the reader/eater/cook to rethink every morsel of Pan–African history, personal celebration, and global pain that enters our lives when we gather around her magical hearth to laugh, to cry—but most indispensably—to eat.”
—Edwidge Danticat, author of The Farming of Bones
“Infused with a down-home feel and vernacular rhythms . . . this slim, lively book stimulates and elucidates, and is well worth chewing on.”
—Luis H. Francia, The Village Voice
“This culinary memoir . . . is as valuable for its inspirational and factual nuggets as it is for its unusual recipes . . . . Soul-nourishing.”
—Carmela Ciuraru, Entertainment Weekly
“A captivating collection of African-American food memories, meditations and recipes.”
—Kathy Martin, Miami Herald
“Shange achieves . . . revolutionary splendor. She wraps history and legend and recipes and folklore around one big roti . . . makes a gumbo out of memories and laughter and recipes and black vernacular . . . throws spicy metaphors into recipes that have traveled from Africa and Brazil and the Caribbean and Brixton, England.”
— American Visions
“A fervent, richly impassioned chronicle of African American experience.”
