The Cooking Gene

A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South

Michael W. Twitty

This memoir exploring Southern cuisine is a fresh perspective on race in America. Culinary historian Michael W. Twitty examines the roots of soul food, barbecue, and other Southern staples to trace his family's ancestral roots. From Virginia battlefields to Alabama synagogues, Twitty uncovers the charged politics surrounding this cuisine, and how it can bring people with differing histories together. This book won the 2018 James Beard Foundation Book of the Year and is a nominee for the 2018 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award in Nonfiction.
