"Between Harlem and Heaven presents a captivatingly original cuisine. Afro-Asian-American cooking is packed with unique and delicious layers of flavor. These stories and recipes lay praise to the immense influence the African Diaspora has had on global cuisine."
-- Sean Brock

"This is more than just a cookbook. Alexander and JJ take us on a culinary journey through space and time that started more than 400 years ago, on the shores of West Africa. Through inspiring recipes that have survived the Middle Passage to seamlessly embrace Asian influences, this book is a testimony to the fact that food transcends borders." -- Chef Pierre Thiam

In two of the most renowned and historic venues in Harlem, Alexander Smalls and JJ Johnson created a unique take on the Afro-Asian-American flavor profile. Their foundation was a collective three decades of traveling the African diaspora, meeting and eating with chefs of color, and researching the wide reach of a truly global cuisine; their inspiration was how African, Asian, and African-American influences criss-crossed cuisines all around the world. They present here for the first time over 100 recipes that go beyond just one place, taking you, as noted by The New Yorker, "somewhere between Harlem and heaven."

This book branches far beyond "soul food" to explore the melding of Asian, African, and American flavors. The Afro Asian flavor profile is a window into the intersection of the Asian diaspora and the African diaspora. An homage to this cultural culinary path and the grievances and triumphs along the way, Between Harlem and Heaven isn't fusion, but a glimpse into a cuisine that made its way into the thick of Harlem's cultural renaissance.

JJ Johnson and Alexander Smalls bring these flavors and rich cultural history into your home kitchen with recipes for...
- Grilled Watermelon Salad with Lime Mango Dressing and Cornbread Croutons,
- Feijoada with Black Beans and Spicy Lamb Sausage,
- Creamy Macaroni and Cheese Casserole with Rosemary and Caramelized Shallots,
- Festive punches and flavorful easy sides, sauces, and marinades to incorporate into your everyday cooking life.

Complete with essays on the history of Minton's Jazz Club, the melting pot that is Harlem, and the Afro-Asian flavor profile by bestselling coauthor Veronica Chambers, who just published the wildly successful Yes, Chef by Marcus Samuelsson, this cookbook brings the rich history of the Harlem food scene back to the home cook.

It will make you smile
Format: Kindle
Just an all around pleasant read. I enjoyed the interplay between the two main characters and watching their relationship evolve. There was never a doubt about where the story was headed, and that's ok. Happy endings are a good thing!

Fun, joy filled, quick read
Format: Kindle
This story brings together people who need to evaluate where they want to go in life and they are surprised to find that they don’t need to go far to find fulfillment, a great place to live, and a great person as a partner. This is a sweet, quick read to bring hope and joy in the holiday season as the two protagonists end up helping a whole town while finding themselves.

A nice story
Format: Kindle
I liked enough to read the book all the way through. It was a really slow burn without even a kiss till the last few pages. It seemed to be a sort of contrived Christmas magic story and not a real romance. I wouldn't read it again.

I’d give this book 5 stars but it has no epilogue. Which sucked did they get married have kids anything but it’s always disappointing when there is no epilogue 😢

It takes a community
Format: Kindle
A beautiful depiction of Celeste and Natalie’s journey to discovering their true purpose. Natalie began as a thorn in Celeste’s side and ended up being her true soul mate. I loved Celeste’s family tradition of feeding those less fortunate. One recipient’s, Sean, life was transformed into a productive and joyful one. It was beautiful. You could see Celeste’s heart, even though she tried to keep it secluded behind walls. Natalie brought the joy of the holiday spirit to Celeste and once she acquiesced to supporting Natalie’s vision, it was transformative in the entire community. A very good, sweet read. I unequivocally, heartily, and enthusiastically recommend this and any other works by TB Markinson and Miranda MacLeod. I own most of them and have never been disappointed. Thank you Peace
