Thanks for joining me in the kitchen today for another episode of The Soul Food Pod! Have you checked out my new Black folks' sweet potato pie cookbook? It's a collector's edition honoring a legacy of West African influences into my family's viral sweet potato pie recipes! Black folks sweet potato pie recipe, old fashioned sweet potato pie, purple sweet potato pie, and Southern sweet potato pie with cream cheese. Which one is your favorite? My favorite is my classic Black folks' sweet potato pie. The first sweet potato pie recipe to introduce warm spicy notes of clove and ginger as part of its signature soul food spices, along with silky evaporated milk in the recipe. But what if you don't have evaporated milk on hand?
Can you use sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk in pie? In the words of my favorite President, Barack Obama, "Yes, we can!" So, in this sweet potato pie recipe, I'm sharing today, sweetened condensed milk substitutes for evaporated milk. It's my signature Black folk’s sweet potato pie recipe with condensed milk.

| 15 Oct 2023 | Soul Food Chicken Yock Recipe (Yock-A-Mein) | 00:14:31 | |
Something about Southern soul food's slow pace and easy-going nature makes you feel at home.
So when you're hungry, there are some great Southern dishes to try out before settling on a favorite – like Tidewater Virginia chicken yock! What you'll learn in this episode: What kind of food is yock (yok)? Soul food chicken yock is a meal that's an ode to my hometown in coastal Virginia. The Tidewater region, area code 757. We say two up, two down. Put two fingers up for V, and two fingers down for Ayy – Virginia - VA. (Sound effect - Ayyye!)
If you Google this yock soul food recipe - Tidewater Virginia yock, followed by Norfolk yock, will be at the top of the list!
What is chicken yock food (yock-a-mein)? People also ask, "What is chicken yok?"
Chicken yock is a big bowl of comfort. You may know this dish from its menu names, like New Orleans Old Sober. Or its Chinese derivatives, yak, yok, yock-a-mein (yaka mein), or simply Chinese yock.
What ingredients are in soul food chicken yock? Is yock Chinese food or soul food?
Season one of The Wire cut many folks to the white meat (Sound effect - Mmmm!) when it suggested that yock is not Chinese food and most definitely a soul food dish that Black folks created!
But I tend to think that yock may be soul food and Chinese food combined.
A soup-like dish traditionally made from boiled chicken, noodles, egg, spices, and broth. Then topped with your choice of American ketchup, Chinese soy sauce, or Black folks' favorite – hot sauce!

| 12 Nov 2023 | Black Folks Southern Tea Cake Recipe | 00:14:00 | |
This "Black folk tea cake recipe" (that's what they're called!) is an old-fashioned nostalgic Southern soul food treat! What you'll learn in this episode: What is a Black folks' Southern tea cake? African American tea cakes are a somewhat fancy Southern dessert. Little round cakes. Light, airy, and sometimes compared to soda bread or pound cake.
Tea cakes are typically served with hot tea at gatherings like weddings, christenings, and family events. Or any other pomp and circumstance dress-up occasion (which Black folks love). Are tea cakes African-American? It's believed that enslaved African Americans created tea cakes to reproduce the fluffy European confections that white Americans were accustomed to. African Americans made their own version of tea cakes based on what was available to them with limited baking supplies.
