Part cookbook, part cultural history, part memoir, Still We Rise is a tribute to the glories of flour, butter, and buttermilk baked tall, tender, and flaky. Erika Council, the granddaughter of legendary soul food chef Mildred (Mama Dip) Council, knows all about the power of the persistent biscuit. Here, recipes connect readers to the traditions and stories of the South and to the people who instilled in her a love of bread making, including her grandmothers and mother, family friends, and acquaintances, along with her favorite Black cookbook authors of the past 100 years who inspired some of her biscuit creations.
