At The Table Of Power

At the Table of Power is both a cookbook and a culinary history that intertwines social issues, personal stories, and political commentary. Renowned culinary historian Diane M. Spivey offers a unique insight into the historical experience and cultural values of African America and America in general by way of the kitchen. From the rural country kitchen and steamboat floating palaces to marketplace street vendors and restaurants in urban hubs of business and finance, Africans in America cooked their way to positions of distinct superiority, and thereby indispensability. Despite their many culinary accomplishments, most Black culinary artists have been made invisible—until now. Within these pages, Spivey tells a powerful story beckoning and daring the reader to witness this culinary, cultural, and political journey taken hand in hand with the fight of Africans in America during the foundation years, from colonial slavery through the Reconstruction era. These narratives, together with the recipes from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, expose the politics of the day and offer insight on the politics of today. African American culinary artists, Spivey concludes, have more than earned a rightful place at the table of culinary contribution and power.

The Power We Leave on the Table is a book that looks into the power of Christianity available to those who walk in the saving grace of Jesus Christ. The power of the Holy Spirit is available to all who call on the name of Jesus. Nevertheless, the power given to his followers at his ascension is denied and rejected daily by believers. Many have decided not to "pick up" the gifts that have been freely given to those who follow Jesus Christ. God has given all believers gifts to complete the task in which they are called. 1 Corinthians 12:11 says, "All these (gifts) are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines (NIV)." God does not want his children to be ignorant about the blessings he has supplied to those who are willing to accept them. However, his power goes beyond the gifts. There is abundance in every breath of every believer who lives for Christ. His abundance resides in his saving grace and is manifested to those in whom he loves through his power. It is up to you to decide to use his power and learn of his greatest gift of salvation through Christ. Accept the wealth of Jesus as we learn to pick up The Power We Leave on the Table.
