THE COOKING GENE: TRACING MY AFRICAN AMERICAN STORY THROUGH FOOD For
African American culinary historian Michael W. Twitty there was a
giant hole in the story of American cooking as big as the one in the
story of most African American families. Putting the microscope on
himself, Michael decided to fully trace out his family history
through the story of Southern and American food. Using genetic
research, historic interpretation, nature study, heirloom gardening
and interviews with contemporary voices in food, his journey led him
back to his family’s origins in West and Central Africa and a front
ring seat in the debate over race and food in American life.
