This 2023 roundup brings together 12 recipes from Black food creators, from red velvet cupcakes and peach cobbler pound cake to frozen popsicles and kashata. The recipes are ideas to explore—not a claim that every dish is a historic Juneteenth tradition or represents all Black foodways.
Why red foods appear in Juneteenth celebrations
Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom after Union forces arrived. The holiday became a federal holiday in 2021. The National Park Service notes the place of red foods and drinks in Juneteenth celebrations; that context can inform the choice of a red velvet dessert, but it does not establish the same historical meaning for every recipe below. National Park Service: Juneteenth National Independence Day.
