What's Up?
“Slavery made the world of our Ancestors incredibly remote to us. Thankfully, the work of Michael W. Twitty helps restore our awareness of their struggles and successes bite by bite, giving us a true taste of the past.”
- Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr.
“Written in Michael W. Twitty’s no-nonsense style and interlaced with moments of levity, The Cooking Gene is gritty, compelling, and enlightening – a mix of personal narrative and the history of race, politics, economics and enslavement that will broaden notions of African-American culinary identity.”

Bio:
Michael W. Twitty is a dynamic, emerging culinary historian, historic interpreter, and food writer based in the Washington D.C. area interested in discovering and bringing to life, the foods of his ancestors--enslaved African Americans in colonial and antebellum America.
He seeks to restore dignity and pride to the story of enslaved people and their contribution to the story of American food culture bringing light to the story of slavery and reconciliation and connection among people of all backgrounds today.
Michael's research and interests also range into the wider African Diaspora, continental African food traditions, Jewish foodways, and heirloom and heritage breed foods and wild edible resources.
As a growing champion of local eating in both the African American and Jewish communities, he actively reaches out to help all generations share the traditional knowledge that weaves beautifully with the the sustainable, eco-friendly principles of the locovore movement. Through writing, teaching, and cooking, he dreams of sitting all of us down at the "welcome table".
