Captures the mulitple culinary styles of the African Atlantic world, featuring simple Southern dishes as well as exotic foods of the Caribbean islands Pinderhughes, a New York photographer, has collected recipes and memories from a dozen of his relatives and friends, who include Leah Chase, chef and author of The Dooky Chase Cookbook ( LJ 8/90) and Verta Mae Smart-Grosvenor, author of Vibration Cooking (Ballantine, 1986). But the contributions from these two women are among the more interesting in this undertaking; many of the dishes are standard Southern home cooking, and the recollections of most of the other contributors are just too personal to be of wide interest.
