Stirring Up Good Trouble Cookbook
Food for Thought, Food for the Soul
Stirring Up Good Trouble Cookbook is a labor of love, crafted by Dee M. Robinson, founder and CEO of Robinson Hill.
She was initially inspired to write this book as an homage to her beloved mother, Helen Hill, whose oft-repeated remark to her kids was that the only kind of trouble they should get in was “good trouble.”
Dee’s mother knew that cooking for others is about far more than just preparing and eating a meal; it’s about nurturing, caring for loved ones, and sharing homes and hearts.
Having inherited her beloved mother’s fondness for cooking, sharing meals, and showering loved ones with warmth and kindness through hospitality, Dee has been stirring up good trouble ever since.
It’s the kind of trouble you can be proud of, as advocated by civil rights icon John Lewis. He stressed the importance of pressing for a better life circumstance, for figuring out a way to work with people to make change for the greater good: “Get in the way and get in good trouble, necessary trouble…”
By sharing her stories and these recipes, Dee gives us a way to get in good trouble—in the kitchen, with family and friends, and outside of the kitchen—sharing love, a kind word, and making some noise to seek justice for all.
