Hear from master storyteller and James Beard Award winner Michael W. Twitty, whose new extensive recipe collection celebrates the South’s “multicultural gumbo” of influences from immigrants from across the globe.
About the Program
In the introduction to this groundbreaking recipe collection, acclaimed historian Michael W. Twitty declares, “No one state or area can give you the breadth of the Southern story or fully set the Southern table.” To answer this, Recipes from the American South journeys from the Louisiana Bayou to the Chesapeake Bay, showcasing more than 260 of the region’s most beloved dishes.
Discover both iconic dishes and lesser-known specialties from the author of this classic cookbook in the making.
