Compiling more than 100 family recipes, founder of the Akron Recipe Project Judy Orr James serves up a history of home cooking in the Rubber City.
From the city’s founding in 1825 through the years following World War II, numerous ethnic and cultural groups made Akron home. With each new arrival, the city’s food changed and deepened to delicious effect. Polish immigrants brought pierogi to the area, and Jews introduced Old World favorites like kugel and hamantaschen. African Americans seeking a better life in the North enriched the Akron palate with the unique and southern-inspired dishes of their ancestors. Last but not least, there is the sauerkraut ball, Akron’s official food and favorite snack served at local restaurants, cocktail parties, holiday celebrations, and game day gatherings.
