Purchase options and add-ons

The very first cookbook to celebrate Juneteenth, from food writer and cookbook author Nicole A. Taylor—who draws on her decade of experiences observing the holiday.

On June 19, 1865, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston and issued General Order Number 3, informing the people of Texas that all enslaved people were now free. A year later, in 1866, Black Texans congregated with music, dance, and BBQs—Juneteenth celebrations.

All-day cook-outs with artful salads, bounteous dessert spreads, and raised glasses of “red drink” are essential to Juneteenth gatherings. In Watermelon and Red Birds, Nicole puts jubilation on the main stage. As a master storyteller and cook, she bridges the traditional African-American table and 21st-century flavors in stories and recipes. Nicole synthesizes all the places we’ve been, all the people we have come from, all the people we have become, and all the culinary ideas we have embraced.

Watermelon and Red Birds contains over 75 recipes, including drinks like Afro Egg Cream and Marigold Gin Sour, dishes like Beef Ribs with Fermented Harissa Sauce, Peach Jam and Molasses Glazed Chicken Thighs, Southern-ish Potato Salad and Cantaloupe and Feta Salad, and desserts like Roasted Nectarine Sundae, and Radish and Ginger Pound Cake. Taylor also provides a resource to guide readers to BIPOC-owned hot sauces, jams, spice, and waffle mixes companies and lists fun gadgets to make your Juneteenth special. These recipes and essays will inspire parties to salute one of the most important American holidays, and moments to savor joy all year round.

5.0 out of 5 stars Food that celebrates being Black
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2022

This book was very educational as I love culinary history and why black people eat the foods that they do. I love how we can trace our choice of culinary delicacies back to the continent of Africa and our ancestors. I like also that she puts a new spin on classics instead of making yet another African American cookbook with the usual fare of macaroni and cheese and fried chicken. If you are offended by the title of the book, I think you may be the problem, not the author. These foods are indigenous to the African who was stolen from their continent and brought to the Americas as slaves. This is the food and the culture that Africans born in America have become accustomed to eating and quite naturally as with any culture, these are the foundational foods we eat when we are celebrating. It is indigenous to US (Africans born in America) and I haven’t the slightest idea why anyone would be offended.

Bought this book specifically to cook authentic food for Juneteenth. The potato salad was a HUGE hit. Made a few other things since then as well. Definitely will be a staple in my kitchen, but especially in summer/Juneteenth
