| Marcus Samuelsson Celebrates Black Cooks, the Soul of American Food |
Underrecognized and erased for too long, the significant contributions of Black cooks encompass a rich world of creativity, innovation, and traditions, with global and regional influences far and wide. Chef and TV star Marcus Samuelsson brings these contributions center stage in The Rise: Black Cooks and the Soul of American Food, a joyful and diverse celebration of Black food culture.
Through inspiring stories and delicious recipes, The Rise pays homage to Black culinary legacies and leaders—chefs, writers, and activists like Shakirah Simley, Toni Tipton-Martin, Stephen Satterfield, Michael Twitty, and many more—as well as techniques and ingredients of the African diaspora. In this excerpt, he shares his own story, and digs in to why Black food is so vital to American food and the American experience. |
