| Black History Month: Celebrating Black Voices in Food and Farming |
| February is Black History Month, and we are celebrating Black authors and content creators in food, from podcasts and docuseries to histories and cookbooks. This short list was put together by CUESA staff and is just a starting point for digging into the legacy, foods, and stories of Black farmers, chefs, and documentarians of African American food culture. What are your favorite food-related works by Black authors and creators? What works have moved and inspired you? |
