Between Harlem and Heaven: Afro-Asian-American Cooking for Big Nights, Weeknights, and Every Day by Veronica Chambers, Alexander Smalls, Jj Johnson

4.0

This cookbook is very chef-fy. Most of the recipes have side recipes, and though the times are mostly accurate, they don't take into account chopping time (or recipe within a recipe time). That said, of the dishes I made from the book, I like the majority of them. I found the salads were the only area were the book faltered (one was due to how they wanted me to cook the beets, the other just wasn't that good). On the other hand, I know I will be making the tofu gnocchi again, as it was really good, and much quicker to make then regular potato gnocchi. The adobo chicken I served with the apple glazed brussel sprouts, and was a huge hit. I look forward to making more of the recipes, but knowing the are incredibly time intensive I'll mostly make them on the weekend.
