19 Soulful Recipes to Cook to Celebrate Black History Month



Blogger Aaron Hutcherson from The Hungry Hutch teamed up with Meiko Drew of Meiko and the Dish to host a Black History Month Virtual Potluck. In an article on Tasting Table, Hutcherson wrote, "This virtual potluck is our small part to show society that 'black food' is more than fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and collard greens (though there's some of that too)." A number of bloggers each created one dish for the occasion, and that means that you can try something new every day. And we're totally here for the diverse cuisines featuring African, Caribbean, Southern, and Creole recipes. We're fixing you a plate so sit back and relax because you're definitely in for a delicious meal.
