Black-Eyed Peas, Unbound

Black-Eyed Peas, Unbound: Tradition, Heat, and Global Comfort

A practical, flexible cookbook built around one humble ingredient—and the many places it can go.

About the Cookbook

Black-Eyed Peas, Unbound starts with a single idea: simple food lasts because it adapts.

At its core is a plain, unseasoned anchor recipe for black-eyed peas—cooked with nothing more than liquid, heat, and time. From that foundation, the book explores thirty variations drawn from Southern tradition, regional comfort cooking, global influences, plant-forward approaches, and everyday pantry improvisation.

Rather than fixed measurements or rigid instructions, each recipe focuses on sequence, timing, and balance. Ingredients are added deliberately, either before or after cooking, so you always understand what changed and why.

This book is designed for cooks who value flexibility over precision and understanding over repetition. Whether you’re cooking for New Year’s Day, a weeknight meal, or a pot shared outdoors, the goal is the same: a dependable dish that welcomes variation.
