Zora Neale Hurston on Florida Food: Recipes, Remedies & Simple Pleasures (American Palate) Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Explore the African American foodways of early 20th century Florida through the life, work, and recipes of a celebrated author and Sunshine State native.
 
Author and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston did for Florida what William Faulkner did for Mississippi, providing insight into a state’s history and culture through various styles of writing. In this book, historian Fred Opie explores food as a recurring theme in Hurston’s life and work. Beginning with her childhood in Eatonville, Florida, and the foodways of her family, Opie goes on to explore Hurston’s ethnographic recording of dishes and recipes as well as natural food remedies.
 
In other chapters, Opie examines African American foodways across Florida, including the importance of poultry and the social and political aspects of barbecue. Through simple dishes and recipes, foods prepared for everyday meals as well as special occasions, Opie offers a unique view of both Hurston and the food traditions in early twentieth-century Florida.

this book is so interesting; I hated to put it down; read in car, read in bed, read in chair. I love the history that is well researched. I cannot wait to start making some of the delicious food recipes. One of reasons I like this book; is the historical, herbal remedies. My grandmother who was 96 when she passed was a midwife in her younger days & used many unorthodox medical treatments with herbs, skunk oil & other oils & herbs. I so wish I had learned from her. This book sate's some of my curiosity of old timey meds.

This book is essential reading especially if you are intererested in Florida history, including Florida's culinary history. I can't think of a better book to read in celebration of 2022 Black History Month. Zora Neale Hurston is a force in American history whose work deserves greater recognition.
