Published by The University of North Carolina Press, this compact cookbook weighs just 325 grams and is a must-have for food lovers eager to explore authentic, soulful rice dishes rooted in African diasporic traditions. ## Description Among the staple foods most welcomed on southern tables-and on tables around the world-rice is without question the most versatile. As Michael Twitty observes, depending on regional tastes, rice may be enjoyed at breakfast, lunch, and dinner; as main dish, side dish, and snack; in dishes savory and sweet. Filling and delicious, rice comes in numerous botanical varieties and offers a vast range of scents, tastes, and textures depending on how it is cooked. In some dishes, it is crunchingly crispy; in others, soothingly smooth; in still others, somewhere right in between. Commingled or paired with other foods, rice is indispensable to the foodways of the South. As Twitty's fifty-one recipes deliciously demonstrate, rice stars in Creole, Acadian, soul food, Low Country, and Gulf Coast kitchens, as well as in the kitchens of cooks from around the world who are now at home in the South. Exploring rice's culinary history and African diasporic identity, Twitty shows how to make the southern classics as well as international dishes-everything from Savannah Rice Waffles to Ghananian Crab Stew. As Twitty gratefully sums up, "Rice connects me to every other person, southern and global, who is nourished by rice's traditions and customs.

The price does no reflect the value of the content. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'll read anything Mr. Twitty writes! *by P***S on 12 June 2021* Yet another informative, and useful book by Michael Twitty. He is an historian, superbly talented cook and a warm human being. He traces the history of Black people in America through their food and shows us all the great and beneficial gifts that they have made to our American cuisine. Rice is probably the most widely consumed staple throughout the world and it was the foundation of much of what has become the cuisine of Southern cooking, but is a wealth of delicious dishes for people in all parts of the country. Twitty tells the story and illustrates the telling with recipes that anyone will love. Get the book. Read it.
