Black Food: Stories, Art, and Recipes from Across the African Diaspora

Black Food: Stories, Art, and Recipes from Across the African Diaspora edited by James Beard Award–winning chef, activist, and author Bryant Terry is a groundbreaking cultural anthology that expands beyond the traditional boundaries of a cookbook to celebrate the richness and diversity of the African diaspora through food, art, and storytelling. Bringing together contributions from more than one hundred chefs, writers, artists, scholars, and cultural leaders, the book intertwines recipes with essays, poetry, photography, visual art, and music playlists to create a multidimensional portrait of Black foodways. Deeply rooted in history while looking toward the future, Black Food serves as both a celebration of culinary creativity and a powerful exploration of identity, memory, resilience, and the global connections forged through food.
