Harris\'s High on the Hog fills an important gap in our Culinary history..
The work of a masterful storyteller and an acclaimed scholar, Jessica B.
Although the story of African cuisine in America begins with slavery, High on the Hog ultimately chronicles a thrilling history of triumph and survival.
from chitlins and ham hocks to fried chicken and vegan soul, Harris celebrates the delicious and restorative foods of the African American experience and details how each came to form an important part of African American culture, history, and identity.
Harris weaves an utterly engaging history of African American cuisine, taking the reader on a harrowing Journey from Africa across the Atlantic to America, and tracking the trials that the people and the food have undergone along the way.
