The cuisine initially had its share of negativity.

The cuisine was initially denigrated as low quality and belittled because of its origin.

Soul food historian [[Adrian Miller]] explains the difference between soul food and [[Cuisine of the Southern United States|Southern food]] is that soul food is intensely seasoned and uses a variety of meats to add flavor to food and adds a variety of spicy and savory sauces. These spicy and savory sauces add robust flavor. This method of preparation was influenced by West African cuisine where West Africans create sauces to add flavor and spice to their food. Also, Black Americans add sugar to make cornbread, while "white southerners say when you put sugar in corn bread, it becomes cake...".<ref name="Duke Sanford">{{cite web |last1=Brownell |first1=Kelly |title=Adrian Miller on the History of Soul Food |url=https://wfpc.sanford.duke.edu/podcasts/adrian-miller-history-soul-food/ |website=World Food Policy Center |publisher=Duke Sanford |access-date=13 June 2024}}</ref> European immigrants seasoned and flavored their food using salt, pepper, smoke, and pickling spices.
