A short summary of The Cooking Gene:
A chef explores his history and heritage through soul food.
My favorite Michael W. Twitty quote from the book:
"Food is often a necessary vehicle between one's ancestors or the spiritual forces that guide their destiny."
Questions to ponder while reading the book:
Do you know the history of your people?
Do you explore cuisine outside your standard fare?
My review of The Cooking Gene:
A great look into the evolution of soul food.
A great look into the evolution of ethnic relations.
A great look into the history of a person.
