Inspiration for Your Juneteenth Cookoutįor this Juneteenth Cookout, my Smoked Macaroni and Cheese recipe is on the Bad & Boujee (Southern Decadence) menu! Today, knowing the history of macaroni and cheese has made me more appreciative of this dish, the many Black culinarians who have paved the way (often without credit), and my family who taught me traditions and recipes pridefully. The steam and savory smell of cheese will forever live in my mind. I always felt like I hit the lottery, if I was the first to break the serving spoon through the golden crust on top of a freshly baked pan of macaroni and cheese. Growing up, macaroni and cheese was an essential side dish for cookouts, celebrations, church functions, and holidays. The Netflix show, High on the Hog, guided us through Hemmings’ experience with studying French cuisine, life in Virginia, and his process of recreating the dish that became very popular in the Southern U.S. It was actually perfected by his enslaved chef, James Hemmings in the 18th century.
Knowledgable food historians, like Adrian Miller, have taught us that macaroni and cheese was too often credited to President Thomas Jefferson. The history, and deliciousness of this dish, and many others, are important to Black culture.
