Soul food has its roots in African-American communities in the South, although the term ‘soul food’ didn’t become popular until the Black Power movement in the late 1960s and ’70s, when Black people in America began to be able to openly celebrate their heritage and cooking. Traditional Southern soul food desserts are divine, with fruit cobblers, Angel Food cake, buttermilk pie, banana pudding and so much more. The perfect accompaniment to the main event of fried chicken, turkey and tasty side dishes!
