Soul Food & Love: The Power of Community with Adrian Miller (Soul Food Scholar)
Join us as we embark on a flavorful journey into the heart of African American culinary traditions with our guest Mr. Adrian Miller, known as the Soul Food Scholar. Mr. Adrian, an award-winning author and culinary historian, shares his knowledge on the origins, significance, and cultural impact of soul food in America.
🥘 Episode Highlights: 🍴
Introduction to Soul Food: Mr. Adrian defines soul food as a rich blend of culinary practices from West Africa, Western Europe, and the Americas, converging in the Southern United States. He describes a typical soul food meal featuring dishes like fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, black-eyed peas, cornbread, and desserts such as sweet potato pie and peach cobbler.
Historical Context: We learn about the origins of soul food, tracing back to the resourcefulness and creativity of enslaved Africans who, despite oppressive conditions, crafted flavorful and nourishing meals from limited ingredients.

He also touches upon the global influence of fried chicken, including its adaptation into Korean cuisine with unique flavors and accompaniments!
Cultural Significance: The conversation emphasizes how soul food embodies love, community, and resilience within African American communities. Sharing meals becomes a conduit for connection, tradition, and cultural expression.
