The key to delicious soul food is who is making it. It can't be commercialized, so seeing the logos on the containers is very telling. Soul food is an art.

Fried catfish is AMAZING when it's cooked well with local fish. I also adore black eyed peas and collards with pepper vinegar (literally just vinegar with hot peppers soaking in it to give it a bit of a spicy kick).

Alessio i’m giving you my homemade mac & cheese recipe to try. This is real Southern mac & cheese! Baked buttermilk macaroni and cheese • • 6 eggs • 2-1/2 cups buttermilk • 3-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese • 1/2 cup butter melted • 8- oz elbow macaroni cooked and drained • salt and pepper to taste Instructions: • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray. Set aside. • Whisk together eggs and buttermilk. Stir in melted butter, cheese and salt. • Add cooked pasta and stir to coat. • Pour into prepared pan. • Sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top it desired • Bake, uncovered, for 45 to 50 minutes.

And it should be noted that Alessio saying "The flavor doesn't need to be covered up", that was the genesis of soul food. Soul food was born out of black slaves being given the worst parts of the food. The slave owners ate the turnips, so they gave the greens to the slaves. The ham hock was a piece of the ham that the slave owners threw away. The turnip greens were bitter and didn't taste great by themselves, and there really wasn't any meat on the ham hock. The ham hock couldn't really be eaten by itself, so it was used to cover up the bitter flavor of the greens. There's a lot of amazing history and stories of resilience in these dishes, and the "overpowering the flavor of the vegetables" is one of those stories in the greens.

Turnip greens are usually cooked with a ham hock, hence the smoked flavor taste! My Mom from Texas but married my Dad from New York State made fresh green beans, with onions, potatoes and ham always! So yummy! Cooked low and slow!😊❤

I grew up in Florida and when we'd make our sweet potatoes, we baked them in fresh orange peels. Here's the recipe: Boil sweet potatoes and add the usual brown sugar, cinnamon, butter. If you add milk, replace it with freshly squeezed orange juice. Save the peels of the halved oranges. Scoop the sweet potatoes into the peels and bake with marshmallows on top. Sometimes I add roasted walnuts or pecans to the mashed sweet potatoes for a little texture. Garnish with a little orange zest and serve the potatoes in the orange peels. Delish!!!

Native Texan here, no!!!! to marshmallow topping for sweet potatoes. Brown sugar, chopped pecans, real butter, oats or flour or crushed cornflakes, maybe a little cinnamon (I am firmly in the no-nutmeg camp) mix this all together -- put this over your sweet potatoes last 15 mins of baking = heaven! My family eats all of these foods for Thanksgiving and Christmas. My East Texas husb grew up putting his black-eye peas over sweet not jalapeno cornbread (we always make both sweet and jalapeno cornbread), mushing it all up, and pouring sweet tiny pickle juice over it. I do not do this lol. Fried catfish is delicious. It never tastes like fish. My Mom always made banana pudding for me when I wld come back from school trips, band trips, etc. I am still trying to create the perfect pecan pie. I am in the custard (non see through) pecan pie camp. Others are in the translucent, see through pecan pie camp. When I create the perfect pecan pie recipe, I will not offer these perfect pecan pies for sale. Such deliciousness transcends such things as mere money. I will donate the recipe to humanity, bec the perfect pecan pie recipe, if it is indeed perfect, will have the power to mend broken hearts, end conflict and strife, and enable humanity to finally unite in the joy of experiencing such happiness together The food in this video is the food of life.

Do you know why southerners eat black eye peas at NY? Because when the Yankees, during the civil war, came to the Southern states, they burned many of the fields so that the southerners would not have as much food. One of the only things that survived is the wild black eye peas and they were able to harvest them and survive. So now they are eaten at new years for good luck.

As a Southern woman who’s heritage is Cajun and Mexican American, I need to know where you obtained this meal. I live in Nashville, the home of hot chicken. And my husband is also not American. My husband is a German national from Hamburg. So, before there was KZbin, I was introducing my husband to all the different foods I grew up with. Sidenote, not all sweet potatoes come with marshmallows. And I am good with that! I do not like the texture of a marshmallow. But the rest of the sides excluding the mashed potatoes should be very well seasoned. Very!

The greens usually have smoked meat in them, whether it is greens or cabbage etc. and the should be eaten with the cornbread. as should the black-eyed peas. Actually a dish of black eyed peas with collard greens cornbread are standard for new years. If you want to go further and dive deeper into African American culture, a good old Hoppin' John, which is a black-eyed pea dish with onion, green bellpepper over a bed of rice (or mixed), and a side of cornbread and some collard greens are even better . The greens represent prosperity, the peas are for luck., and it skips my head right now what the rice represents. Other must haves shrimp and grits sweet potato pie (as you have said) smothered liver and onions (not everyone does this well. or likes it) mixed greens. (collards with mustard, collards with turnip or all three. It is not traditional to mix in kale, but it is the same family so It iss something I have had to substitute here in the Netherlands)

Okay, southern woman checking in again. 1. Cooked greens need hot vinegar. Hot as in spicy. Turnip greens are the mildest greens imho. 2. I’m married to a German National from Hamburg. He says cabbage needs red pepper flakes. I’m half Cajun and Mexican American. I approve his stance. 3. Black eyed peas are a NYD staple called Hoppin John. It’s black-eyed peas, rice, and turnip greens. This trifecta is supposed to bring you good luck in the new year. And don’t forget the pepper vinegar and the hot sauce! 4. Mac & cheese should not be mush. Try it sometimes in a baked recipe. The pasta stays firm, the cheese isn’t liquid, and it can be cut like a piece of pie. Add some breadcrumbs or some crumbled crackers into it when you cook it. Add the same on the top. You can hold it in your hand and not have the cheese run through your fingers. Pasta should be firm. 5. Wanna try atwo ingredient easy dish? Get a can of field peas and snaps that is the glory brand. But, before you open the can, slice of kielbasa and browned it in a skillet. Then dump the can over it. If you want a little extra, serve it over cooked white rice. Add hot sauce if you’d like. But that is a simple Cajun supper for a few dollars. 6. If the corn bread is made in a cast-iron skillet then it is the best. Jalapeño is optional. Copious amounts of butter on your piece of cornbread is not. 7. I live in Nashville. Our signature dish is Nashville hot chicken. But there are many smaller places that I also do Nashville hot fish with catfish. Highly recommend! But if you get a sandwich, make sure your coleslaw is not a sloppy wet mess. You want it more on the cabbage side versus the mayonnaise side. You want the crunch is an accent. You don’t want slop.

My favorite soul food is a pecan praline. By themselves, in a pie, on or in ice cream, they are worth double the calories. SO good!

The smokey flavor in the greens is from the smoked pork bone used in the cooking

If you have a Ruth Chris in your area you need to get the sweet potato souflee or whatever they call it. I don't even like sweet potatoes, but you can order 3 sides/veggies as a vegetarian dinner. My friend told me you order 2 sides for the table for dinner, then tell them to hold the sweet potatoes for dessert and asked for the vanilla ice cream on top. It's so good, and VERY sweet. They have pecans on top too. And like i said, i don't even like sweet potatoes and my mom is the pickiest eater ever and even she loved the sweet potatoes with vanilla ice cream! 😋

I agree, you can get better Louisiana fried chicken than Popeyes. They should go to restaurants that specialize in fried chicken and know how to cook it right.

Gotta crumble that cornbread into the juice of the black eyed peas, greens, and cabbage!! Like yall, I prefer collard greens to turnip greens, but I LOVE cooked turnips! Collard Greens are usually not as bitter as turnip greens. My Grandmaw used to cook each with just a bit of sugar to cut the bitterness. Looks like y’all had some good eats tonight! I’m jealous!

The key to good smothered pork chops is that the chops have to be well seasoned before frying. Then you slather with brown gravy. Serve along side those mashed potatoes. 😋😋😋

don’t know where you guys went but I’d love for you to try soul food in North Carolina or South Carolina, obviously soul food across the black american diaspora is very similar but it’s something about the Carolinas that hits different
