When award-winning chef Marcus Samuelson opened his Red Rooster restaurant in Harlem, his vision was to invigorate a historically and culturally rich neighborhood with a community gathering spot. Not only did the restaurant provide a physical space for the culturally diverse residents, its menu was a culturally rich convergence of cultures with hints of Southern, Spanish, African, Caribbean, and even Swedish cuisine.

The Red Rooster Cookbook by Marcus Samuelsson is a collection of the Southern comfort food and multicultural recipes from the iconic Harlem restaurant. Complimented by stunning photography and interspersed with essays that let you almost taste the flavor, the The Red Rooster Cookbook is as layered as its inheritance.
