Description

African American cuisine has a rich and complex history, shaped by the experiences of the people who created it. In "High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America", Jessica B. Harris takes readers on a journey through the trials and triumphs of African American foodways.

From the roots of African cuisine to its evolution in America, Harris explores the stories behind the dishes that have become an integral part of African American culture. With a masterful storyteller's touch, she reveals the history and significance of dishes like chitlins, ham hocks, fried chicken, and vegan soul food.

This narrative history is a testament to the power of food to shape our identities and communities. "High on the Hog" fills an important gap in our culinary history, offering a fresh perspective on the African American experience.
