Join the book launch of culinary historian Michael W. Twitty’s book, The Cooking Gene on Wednesday, August 30th, from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm at Omnivore Books on Food.
Southern food is integral to the American culinary tradition, yet the question of who “owns” it is one of the most provocative touch points in the ongoing struggles over race and appropriation.
Hop on as Twitty takes his 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.
