Liberation Plate Challenge Cookbook

<p>A Journey of Culinary Liberation!</p><p><br></p><p>It's all about the Red Black and Green! Choosing more red black and green foods leads to renewed health and vigor - making us stronger warriors healers and builders. Growing the foods we eat and supporting black farmers are our choices for liberation. Preparing delicious meals that inspire heal and bring families together comes out of our Afrikan ways.</p><p><br></p><p>Join the AYA-Ngolo family and create your own Ngolo liberation plates that inspire nourish and heal. Praise the Red Black and Green!</p><p><br></p><p>This book is a culmination of a #LiberationPlateChallenge called by the AYA-Ngolo Gardens Committee in February 2021. More than one hundred took up the challenge to create dishes and share photos recipes and family stories. This book is Ujamaa - collective work and responsibility - with flavor!</p><p><br></p><p>It will help you walk away from the malaise nurtured by imbalanced food choices and our consuming too many processed foods. We hope it will also encourage you to incorporate more plant-based cooking and eating into your lifestyle. You will learn about allomelanin-rich and African cultural foods that feed our Blackness.</p><p><br></p><p>In our tradition a feast without stories is not a feast at all. We hope the family stories included will trigger your olfactory memories and spark you to create new dishes and new stories that create authentic emotional and cultural connections and lead you back home.</p><p><br></p><p class=ql-align-center><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>RECIPE CONTRIBUTORS</span></p><p><br></p><p class=ql-align-center><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Jasmine Barber</span></p><p class=ql-align-center><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Grace Cheptu</span></p><p class=ql-align-center><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Johnika Dreher</span></p><p class=ql-align-center><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Baoku Duduyemi</span></p><p class=ql-align-center><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Habiba Hall-Bey</span></p><p class=ql-align-center><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Khem Irby</span></p><p class=ql-align-center><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Hopi Love</span></p><p class=ql-align-center><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Qoqo Love</span></p><p class=ql-align-center><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Afiya Madzimoyo</span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
