  • Black women may very well be the architects of home cooking and soul food.

    Remembering the staples of Africa, they imaginatively concocted and skillfully cooked flavorful recipes that would feed a house full of people.

  • Who was the first African American cook?

  • Edna Lewis was born in 1916 in Freetown, Orange County, Virginia. One of eight children, she lived with her family in a small community of emancipated slaves that her grandfather helped to create. Growing, foraging and harvesting their own food, most of the members of Freetown cultivated their own cooking ingredients.


  • Genesis 9:2-3
  •  All the animals of the earth, all the birds of the sky, all the small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the fish in the sea will look on you with fear and terror. I have placed them in your power.  I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables.

  • What does the kitchen symbolize?
  • Kitchen carries meanings of several things such as family, home and comfort.

  • Ezekiel 46:20-24 He explained, “This is where the priests will cook the meat from the guilt offerings and sin offerings and bake the flour from the grain offerings into bread. They will do it here to avoid carrying the sacrifices through the outer courtyard and endangering the people by transmitting holiness to them.” Then he brought me back to the outer courtyard and led me to each of its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosure. Each of these enclosures was 70 feet long and 52 1⁄2 feet wide, surrounded by walls. Along the inside of these walls was a ledge of stone with fireplaces under the ledge all the way around.  The man said to me, “These are the kitchens to be used by the Temple assistants to boil the sacrifices offered by the people.”.
