A review by sportsnguyz12
The Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South by Michael W. Twitty

dark emotional funny hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

High on the list of my favorite food is creole and southern cuisine and adding historical ingredients to the mix is the cherry on top (see what I did there)? Michael Twitty is a voice of education, sarcasm, humor,  and passion to the culinary arts of the South and the history of where some of the most popular southern recipes come from. This is his truth and the truth of so many others who’s ancestry stems from a horrendous past.

This book was a gem to read!
