My America Recipes From A Young Black Chef by Kwame Onwuachi

In My America, acclaimed chef Kwame Onwuachi redefines what American cuisine truly means—through the lens of his own heritage, travels, and family traditions. This vibrant cookbook is more than a collection of recipes; it’s a deeply personal culinary memoir that celebrates the rich tapestry of the African Diaspora and its influence on American food.

From Nigerian Jollof rice and Trinidadian Channa curry to Southern jambalaya and Bronx-style comfort food, Onwuachi presents over 125 recipes that span continents and generations. Each dish is infused with stories from his upbringing in the Bronx, his time in Nigeria and Louisiana, and his experiences in fine-dining kitchens across the U.S
