Rice: a Savor the South® cookbook by Michael W. Twitty

4.0

This book is one of 25 titles in the Savor the South cookbook series. Rice is written by African American and Jewish American foodways historian Michael W. Twitty. He has written extensively on African foodways and their connection to Southern cooking and the African Diaspora in America. This particular book looks at how rice was brought to and cultivated in the South from Africa and its influence on Southern dishes. There are six sections to the book that includes recipes for basic rice to southern classics like Hoppin' John and Jambalaya.

This is a great little microhistory and cookbook.
