This week on Chefs Without Restaurants, Chris Spear talks with culinary historian and James Beard Award-winning author Michael Twitty about his new book, 'Recipes from the American South.' With over 250 recipes, the book is a deep dive into the rich, diverse traditions of Southern food. Chris and Michael explore everything from grits and cornbread, to scrapple and possum. They also discuss what defines the South, how Michael pulled together such a monumental collection, and why food memory and identity matter now more than ever. This is a heartfelt, thoughtful and delicious episode that food lovers won’t want to miss.  Topics discussed: - What defines Southern food and identity - Why certain recipes made the cut - The cultural storytelling behind Southern dishes - Forgotten and misunderstood foods - The research process behind the cookbook MICHAEL TWITTYMichael's InstagramMichael's website and AfroculinariaMichael on the Chefs Without Restaurants podcast in 2021Buy the book Recipes From the American SouthCHEFS WITHOUT RESTAURANTSIf you enjoy the show and would like to support it financially, please check out our Sponsorship page (we get a commission when you use our links).Get the Chefs Without Restaurants NewsletterChefs Without Restaurants Instagram, Threads and YouTubeThe Chefs Without Restaurants Private Facebook GroupChris Spear's personal chef business Perfect Little BitesPERSONAL CHEF BUSINESS STARTUP GUIDEListen to the podcast here, or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTubeFollow us on Instagram, Threads and YouTubeReach out at [email protected] in touchSupport the show
