Bryant Terry wants less fake meat, more black-eyed peas. Illustration: Maanvi Kapur This week, the Oakland chef and author Bryant Terry celebrated the release of Black Food. An expansive, rich, and beautifully designed tome about Black food culture edited by Terry, it’s the first book published under his 4 Color Books imprint.
Had a small bowl of my wife’s homemade lentil soup with kabocha squash. The thing about my wife is she isn’t a trained chef, she didn’t go to culinary school. She learned the foundation of her cooking from her grandmother, who’s from Hong Kong. They spent a lot of time together when she was growing up. Now, she’s adept at cooking Thai, Vietnamese, Lao, Burmese, and Japanese food. She’s really proficient in a lot of different Asian cuisines. She just has this very intuitive cooking style.
I think those little moments are important. I often cite one of the most powerful moments with my maternal grandmother, which was her letting me put the lids and the rings on canning jars when she was doing her canning, pickling, and preserving. It was just a simple task. I’m sure it was her exploiting my labor for that moment, but it’s one of those things where I felt included, and it built the foundation for me to continue in the kitchen.
Another small bowl of my wife’s homemade lentil soup with kabocha squash. It’s like I said, she knows how to cook.I think my eating patterns over the past several days might look a little weird, and it’s because I am going to eat at a few fine-dining restaurants that have multi-course tasting menus. When I’m doing that, I’m largely trying to keep it light or fast throughout the day.
It’s not like I’m hating on it. I don’t want to single out specific companies, but the lack of transparency from most of these companies is troubling. What’s frustrating to me is that, now, the restaurants that might have actually taken some time and effort to create some type of thoughtful plant-based burger offer those burgers instead. I’ve been to restaurants that, a decade ago, had some awesome house=made plant-based burgers, and now they just sell the big company brands.
The event was the annual harvest dinner at Flowers Winery, with a menu inspired by Black Food. The savory food was prepared by the Buss Down, and pastry chef Selasie Dotse prepared a dessert buffet. There was a smoked collard-greens salad with black-eyed peas and pickled onions, pickled beets, and jerk eggplant with a white-bean spread, charred Brussels sprouts, and roasted carrots.
