Heritage and History in the Soul Food Kitchen

"Real Men Cook" started out as a charity cookbook benefitting African-American fathers' organizations in Chicago. There are recipes for barbecue, okra, red velvet cake, rice and beans. But what makes it historic? the forward is by a Senator named Barack Obama. In his brief preface, he encourages fathers to be involved in their children's lives. When Kofi Moyo published this book, little did he know that the forward's author would go forward to the White House. "Real Men Cook" is collectible and historic. While Obamamaniacs are enjoying his 8 year old restaurant review from "Check Please!" for a soul food place in Chicago, "Real Men Cook" brings soul food into the everyday person's kitchen. Hail to the Chef!
