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

challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

This book was stunning. It was incredibly powerful and at times difficult to read. It took me a long time to work through it, not because I was bored or lost interest, but because of the intensity of the subject and the writing. It is beautifully done, and an important education. This is required reading.
