The Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South: A James Beard Award Winner by Michael W. Twitty, Michael W. Twitty

5.0

The best of Southern and good history

An essential read for anyone like me, heavily interested in both southern and food history, and racial history in the South. It spoke to me as a white native South Georgian, descended from sharecroppers, like few other books have. And Gritty is a fantastic writer. I can't wait to see him in person sometime.
