How one chef finds comfort in food during Black History Month.
Black History Month is my favorite time of the year — other than Thanksgiving! This month, I always try to dedicate more time and energy to creating spaces for me and my Black friends to celebrate together. And I find it's easier to foster relationships and have meaningful conversations that move us forward when we're enjoying a meal. Food has always been the way I rejoice in my history, find gratitude for my present and feel hopeful about my future.
So, in celebration of Black history, I've created a complete spread — from breakfast to dessert — that really brings the comfort. These recipes highlight ingredients from my earliest memories in my family kitchen, while also taking inspiration from cuisines I've grown to love outside my family kitchen.I vividly remember the smell of cinnamon, vanilla and butter browning in the skillet in my childhood home on the occasional weekend.
Grits have always had a special place in my heart because they're so comforting and quickly take on new flavors. And I can always count on pimento cheese to add a robust, smoky and spicy flavor to anything I'm cooking. Pro tip: Grits usually take about an hour to cook, so I like to allow them to simmer away while I complete the other meal components.Mac and cheese is the most popular dish at my dinner table, so I'm always looking for new ways to step it up. Don't get me wrong — I'm a big fan of the classic baked mac and cheese, but with the endless amounts of toppings and mix-ins available, I can't resist the temptation to switch it up.
For this recipe, I took inspiration from my mother's spiced, saucy peach filling while incorporating a blend of chai spices in both the filling and crumble. The spices offer warmth to the mildly sweet peaches. If you're looking for a way to spice up your classic peach cobbler, you've found it.
