The cooking gene: a journey through African American culinary history in the Old South by Michael W TwittySouthern food is integral to the American culinary tradition, yet the question of who "owns" it is one of the most provocative touch points in our ongoing struggles over race. In this unique memoir, culinary historian Michael W. Twitty takes readers to the white-hot center of this fight, tracing the roots of his own family and the charged politics surrounding the origins of soul food, barbecue, and all Southern cuisine. As he takes us through his ancestral culinary history, Twitty suggests that healing may come from embracing the discomfort of the Southern past. He reveals the truth that the power food can bring the kin of the enslaved and their former slaveholders to the table, where they can discover the real America together.
