Culinary historian and writer Michael W. Twitty joins us for a rich conversation about food, memory, and identity. We talk about Kosher laws as a creative framework, the diverse influences behind Southern cuisine, and his new book Recipes from the American South. Michael reflects on the importance of preserving family recipes as acts of justice and legacy, shares what he’d serve at his dream Shabbat table (hint: it’s a feast), and gives us plenty to savor about the ways food carries history forward. Pull up a chair and join us at the table for a thoughtful, delicious conversation about the stories our meals carry.
