This is a decent cookbook to celebrate Juneteeth and the Black Culture in America. It has a brief introduction about Juneteeth and what it means to the black culture. Since Juneteeth is considered the official day the slaves were freed from Slavery and have been celebrated as such in the black community for years. It just recently became a Federal Holiday in 2021.
It has a session for different brands that you get seasons ,drinks,and food to support Black and people of color business you want to try any of the recipes.
The book has color pictures of the food but I wish to have pictures for every food in here so you can see how they look. One thing I would probably try is the funnel cake since it does good. I would like to try the chicken burgers which also look delicious.
Although it really wasn't what I expected to be for a cookbook about Juneteenth and Black Culture with the recipes, there are some I would like to try like I mentioned previously. I really just requested this book for my mom because not only does she like to cook but she likes to collect cookbooks. So I'm going to give this book to her. Overall it is a decent collection of recipes if you want to get a little taste of the Black Culture on Juneteeth but not all of it.
