The Kwanzaa Cookbook and Celebration Guide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798851899300)

Kwanzaa is a time for families and communities to celebrate African American culture and honor the past. This cookbook and guidebook includes everything you need to observe all seven nights of Kwanzaa, including 25 delicious recipes from across the African diaspora, including the Caribbean and the American South.

The Karamu (the feast) is a special event that brings people closer to their African roots. Because Kwanzaa is a relatively new holiday, the traditions are evolving, and your meal should be one that feels right for you and your family. The main meal of Karamu is typically a one-pot stew or soup, and fruits and vegetables are often served to symbolize the bounty of the harvest. Options for both are included in this book, as well as a variety of other dishes to help you create the kind of celebration that is perfect for your family.

Also included in the book:

• A brief history of Kwanzaa origins
• The seven principles of Kwanzaa
• What you need to celebrate
• How to make your own mkeka
• How to light the kinara
• How to have a nightly celebration
• How to prepare for the Karamu, the feast on night six

If you're a bgeinner who always wanted to try celebrating Kwanzaa but weren't sure where to start, this is the book for you! It also makes a fantastic gift for anyone who would like to learn more about this special African American cultural holiday. Pick up a copy today, and Heri za Kwanzaa, or happy Kwanzaa!
