The Kwanzaa Cookbook and Celebration Guide

This cookbook and guidebook includes everything you need to observe all seven nights of Kwanzaa, including 25 delicious recipes from across the African diaspora, including the Caribbean and the American South. The Karamu (the feast) is a special event that brings people closer to their African roots. Because Kwanzaa is a relatively new holiday, the traditions are evolving, and your meal should be one that feels right for you and your family. The main meal of Karamu is typically a one-pot stew or soup, and fruits and vegetables are often served to symbolize the bounty of the harvest. Options for both are included in this book, as well as a variety of other dishes to help you create the kind of celebration that is perfect for your family. If you're a bgeinner who always wanted to try celebrating Kwanzaa but weren't sure where to start, this is the book for you! It also makes a fantastic gift for anyone who would like to learn more about this special African American cultural holiday.
