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

5.0

Amazing combination of the history of black american cooking and the story behind the food. If you don't like learning about the racist roots of the US past, and how it has grown into a big ugly misshapen form of life, this book is not for you. If you want to learn even more of the real history, I strongly encourage the reading, and re-reading, of this eye-opening account.
