Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. In the world I was born into, biscuit dough is the best toy, and children teethe on oxtail bones: soul food runs through my family tree like kudzu vines in the South. On my blog and YouTube channel, I Heart Recipes, and now in this book, I bring those Southern roots into my Seattle kitchen and share everything my mom taught me, everything my grandmother taught her, and all of my inherited, long-nurtured love of soul food with the world. I was just three or four years old when my aunt Frances first brought me into the kitchen, plopped me on a stool, and let my chubby little baby fingers dig into the flour, salt, and spices while she cooked. I patted the pork chops through the breading, following her on how much I needed of each ingredient, then handed them over to her to deep-fry. It was the first time I cooked soul food, but it certainly wasn’t the first time I ate it, and it was only the beginning of my lifelong love of making the kind of food that sticks to your ribs and warms your heart. From the moment I could walk, I followed my mom along with her mom and sisters to the Parkside Nursing Home in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, where they whipped up grand batches of macaroni and cheese, meatloaf, and gumbo for the residents, and I took the scraps they handed me and mimicked their actions, building my own pretend dishes in a corner of the commercial kitchen. It was probably illegal, and I know they wouldn’t let you do that kind of thing today, but there was nowhere else for me to go while they worked—and nowhere I loved to be more than making trouble at their feet as the smells of soul food wafted around us. By the time I was five, I stepped up to the stove to make real food, cooking up a big ol’ batch of my favorite spaghetti, and that became my dish. Everyone in the family has something they’re known for—my mom’s is her potato salad—that they always have to bring to family picnics and holiday parties. I still make my spaghetti just the same way, and it still brings the same Southern mentality to my Pacific Northwest kitchen, just like it did when I wasn’t even tall enough to stir the sauce without a little bit of help.
