About This Event
Join us for a facilitated conversation about The Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South. Twitty's acclaimed history is the winner of the James Beard Award for Writing and Book of the Year.
About the book: A renowned culinary historian offers a fresh perspective on our most divisive cultural issue, race, in this illuminating memoir of Southern cuisine and food culture that traces his ancestry—both black and white—through food, from Africa to America and slavery to freedom. (quoted from Harper Collins website).
"The most powerful food read of the year." -- Wall St. Journal
Our discussion will be facilitated by T'ana Williams, NC State Master of Science in Communication Candidate ('21) and member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
