Cook for the Soul: The new cookbook from Sunday Times bestselling author!

Product Information

Greens are huge in southern cooking, and by greens, we mean turnip greens, mustard greens, and collard greens. There’s no adjustment to the cooking time needed as long as you’re cooking with the same quantity of ingredients, no matter the Instant Pot size.

After looking at the soul food cookbook list of favorites above, you might think everything looks and sounds so good, but where do I start? The question is, how could it not? Shepherd’s pie is so versatile that it can be made with a variety of different ground meats.

Pecans and sweet potatoes are all over the place in the south, so it’s only natural that this dish became a southern staple. Folks who grew up in southern (or country northern) kitchens probably remember biscuits more than they do any other food. Soul food is closely connected to the cuisine of the Southern United States. It’s often considered synonymous with Southern food. What type of green beans do you use? Will this recipe work with frozen green beans instead of fresh? Potatoes are also well served with green beans. They’re a match made in heaven when you add a few small white or red potatoes to your Instant Pot of green beans.

Folks in the South don’t bake their cornbread dressing inside their birds, either. This dressing is baked in a huge pan all by itself. This is really simple. First of all give your fish a wash, then with a sharp knife score across each fish down to the bone at 2.5cm/1 inch intervals on both sides. This allows flavour to penetrate the fish and lets the fish’s juices come out. What makes this dessert so special is the vanilla wafers that are used both inside the pudding and crumbled up for the top. We’ve also seen them used as a bottom crust. Whether it’s the side dish, main course, or dessert, each recipe is inspired by soul food ingredients and cooking traditions with a promise of feeding your soul!Close the Instant Pot lid (make sure the valve is up – in the position for sealing) and pressure cook on high for 2 minutes.
