Healthier Traditions Cookbook: Soul Food is a healthy twist on traditional Soul Food dishes featuring 17 classic recipes. This is the third cookbook from Transamerica Center for Health Studies (TCHS), along with American Classic and Mexican dishes, and is free for all to download. TCHS collaborated with the Association of Black Women Physicians (ABWP) and registered dieticians to make simple ingredient substitutions to classic Southern dishes that increase the nutritional value while keeping the great flavor of some Southern favorites.
Some of the dishes in this cookbook include Red Beans and Rice, Gumbo, Pan-fried Catfish, Smothered Pork Chops, and, leaving room for dessert, classics like Peach Cobbler. Each recipe includes a breakdown of the calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate, fiber, and protein content of the dish. In addition, you can watch the how-to videos (below) that highlight the preparation of some of the dishes.
TCHS remains committed to empowering consumers to achieve the best outcomes in their personal health and wellness and our partner, the Association of Black Women Physicians, is a network of Black women physicians equally committed to the improvement of public health and welfare.
