In Braided Heritage, culinary historian Jessica B. Harris traces the Indigenous, European, and African roots of American food through family recipes and personal histories.
Drawing on decades of research across the Americas, the Caribbean, and Africa, Harris connects the broader history of migration and cultural exchange to dishes shared by friends and their families. Clear Broth Clam Chowder and Enchiladas Suizas reveal blended culinary traditions, while Red Beans and Rice and Peach Bread Pudding Cupcakes with Bourbon Glaze show how African American cooking has evolved across regions and generations.
