counter with drips of California olive oil and splats of
buttermilk on every page.”—Bobby Flay
“Organized by season, California Soul by Tanya Holland takes a
creative approach to recipes, marrying unexpected ingredients with
established traditions. . . . With this gorgeously photographed
book, Holland, the chef and owner of the now closed Brown
Sugar Kitchen in Oakland, shows how intertwined the story of
California food is with that of the migration of Black folk out of
the South to the West.”—Bon Appétit
“The cookbook deserves a spot on your bookshelf for the recipes
alone, but you should save room for it on your
nightstand—California Soul is a work of journalism and history as
well.”—Food & Wine
“When Alice Walker writes in the foreword, ‘California Soul is the
most beautiful cookbook I’ve ever read,’ the rest of us writers can

of the country through the lens of chef Tanya Holland’s own family,
foodways, and recipes.”—Garden & Gun

Network host
