Editorial Reviews Review “To be outside the South at the Brown Sugar Kitchen in Oakland, Californiaeating shrimp n’ grits with a side of cornbread and a glass of lemonade ispriceless!” – Taj Mahal “Tanya Holland and her Brown Sugar Kitchen represent everything that is greatabout Oakland: diversity, collegiality, rugged entrepreneurialism, and soulfulauthenticity. In her restaurant and this cookbook, she has captured somethingdeliciously simple yet extraordinarily powerful: the food that embodies ourshared American roots, and its power to bring us together.” – Aisha Tyler,comedienne, actress, and author of Self-Inflicted Wounds “Tanya Holland has made a beautiful commitment to West Oakland, creating avibrant, joyful restaurant that is a pillar of the local community. Withrobust, soulful recipes using seasonal and local ingredients, this book is awonderful reflection of the spirit she has fostered at Brown Sugar Kitchen.” -Alice Waters “Tanya’s come-hither cookbook inspired both the armchair traveler and thearmchair chowhound in me. Reading it, I imagined the pleasure of living inWest Oakland, having a regular seat of my own at Brown Sugar’s counter, andordering up my favorite dishes without even having to look at the menu. Withthis book in hand, I know that every choice is a winner.” – Sara Moulton, hostof Sara’s Weeknight Meals on public television About the Author Tanya Holland is the executive chef and owner of Brown Sugar Kitchen andB-Side BBQ in West Oakland, CA.
