Nine Black British chefs, cooks, and foodies celebrate Black History Month by sharing their favorite dishes, highlighting the rich culinary traditions of their cultures. From Jamaican red peas soup to South African pepper steak pie, these dishes evoke memories, comfort, and cultural pride.
Spaghetti bolognese is a beloved dish in British homes, but traditional Italian cuisine demands a different pasta: tagliatelle. Chef Sophie Nahmad explains that tagliatelle’s wider, flatter shape adheres better to the meat sauce. Chef Antonio Carluccio, an Italian culinary expert, also advocates for tagliatelle, stating that spaghetti is unsuitable for the thick, meat-based sauce.
