The Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South by Michael W. Twitty
7 reviews
millibear's review against another edition
Loved Twitty's specificity where he could be particular research and records permitting. I don't feel like the chapters themselves were tightly structured, but that could partly be to my own confusion early on on how much memoir vs. history text the book was. Overall, I think this accomplished what Twitty set out to do. I'm glad I read it and glad I could read Twitty's search through his histories and his meditations on food as ancestry in the violence of American slavery.
