A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South
A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South

Review:Unfortunately, I inadvertently purchased an "uncorrected" proof of the book. I won't do that again as it was annoying to read... not properly edited and contained many repetitions and spelling errors. I expected more recipes... the title and premise of the book misrepresents what is clearly the author's enhanced personal journey of genealogical pursuit. Having done a similar search of my own ancestry, I found Twitty's journey interesting, but not 21 chapters worth. Read more

Again, I couldn't put this book down until I'd read it from cover to cover. The recipies not only are easy to f... Read more
