From the grandson of Harlem's queen of soul food, Sylvia Woods, comes a revolution in cooking down-home foods that taste as good as you remember but with less fat, salt, and calories. Lindsey Williams knows soul food. He grew up in the kitchen of his grandmother's restaurant, Sylvia's, where he mastered the art of soul-food cooking. But a lifetime of biscuits, coleslaw, corn bread, and fried chicken took its toll. When the scale tipped 400 pounds, Lindsey knew it was time to make some changes. The result is Neo Soul, a new kind of cooking that brings all the flavors to the plate but slashes the fat and calories.
Now, this paperback edition contains even more delicious soul-food recipes, alongside favorites like Grandma's Roasted Turkey, Lenzo's Trout Stuffed with Collard Greens, Okra Gumbo, Neo Sweet Potato Pie, and Blueberry Buckle. With food this tasty, no one will miss the fat.
Mararoni and Cheese
- 1 pound elbow macaroni
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons whole-wheat or unbleached flour
- 1.5 pints skim milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Cook the macaroni according to the package directions, but subtract 3 or 4 minutes from the cooking time. The macaroni should be a bit underdone, since it will cook a second time. Drain and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter. When it begins to brown, add the flour and whisk until combined. Cook until you can smell the butter/flour combination, 6 to 8 minutes.
- While continuing to whisk, begin to add milk gradually until you have a cream sauce. You may need to add more if the sauce seems too thick.
- Once the cream sauce is thin enough, begin to add the cheeses while continuing to whisk. Again you may need more milk to thin your sauce. Continue this process while whisking until all the cheese is melted in.
- Remove from the heat and fold in the macaroni. Spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and pour the mixture into the dish.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the macaroni is heated through and brown on top.
