HALIFAX A new cookbook is celebrating the spirit of Nova Scotia’s Africville community. “In the Africville Kitchen – the Comfort of Home” shares some classic recipes that helped make the community special and shows how food connected the people that lived there. “Lots of desserts, meats, of course what would be those Sunday dinners, the boil dinners,” says Juanita Peters, the general manager of the Africville Museum. The book contains 24 original recipes from Africville descendants. Peters says fish dishes are a common theme, as the community was located near water. “When you live on the Bedford Basin, there’s a lot of fish that winds up on your table or fish products, things from the water,” says Peters, who helped create the cookbook.
