My name is Althea and I'm a mother and grandmother in sunny Californina. But I was born and raised in New York, NY "The Big Apple". My father was born in south Carolina and my mother from florida by way of Nassau. so I am sure anyone who knows soulfood knows how good the food was in my house. There was plenty of greens, beans and rice flavored with hamhocks, salt pork, fatback,smoked neckbones, and hambones. when my father and other elders of my family became ill with high blood pressure and having heart attacks doctors recommendend a no pork diet. my father began seasoning alot of his fresh veggies with fresh chicken, mostly backs and necks. what a great flavor chicken turned out to be for our veggies. I like to cook and even more I love to see people enjoying what I cook. I'm still finding new ways to cook health conciously. I learn as I go. food is very good for us, just eating right can prevent illness and prolong the life of our bodies.
