Traditional Baked Mac’ & Cheese

Research on the culinary traditions of soul food have resulted in a good number of sources from the late nineteenth century to the 1940s. Most come from historic newspapers and images. They serve as the basis for a series on food and the holiday season. We share our findings in a paraphrased format when necessary to make them legible and we share illustrative direct quotes as often as possible.
