   Even today dishes such as chitterlings, cornbread, and grits are cooked the traditional way. These recipes were handed down from generation to generation.

2. It celebrates the history behind the food

   History almost always gets recorded in food. National Soul Food Month celebrates the origins of this special cuisine.

3. It reminds us to cook with love

   Soul food does indeed have a "soul." It's food that is cooked from the heart to feed the whole family. We can all learn something from that.

Food mirrors its history. Soul food, for example, is a cuisine steeped in tradition. It began in the humble kitchens of African-American slaves as a one-pot meal cooked on a shelf over the fireplace. They had little to cook with, but they had memories of their home and love for their family. And the food reflects that. To remind us of this rich culinary tradition, the Culinary Historians of Chicago created National Soul Food Month in June. So while we enjoy these delicious foods, let’s not forget the history.
