Why It's Your Next Read

  • Intersectional identity served w/ zero apologies
  • Recipes double as manifesto against erasure
  • Black + Jewish fusion history you've missed
  • Same grit & humor skewering white-washed narratives

If Birdsall taught you that the kitchen is a battleground where identity gets forged and erased in equal measure, Michael W. Twitty is here to draw new lines in the ancestral dirt. Koshersoul braids Black and Jewish foodways into a memoir that refuses to let mainstream culinary writing dictate whose stories get seasoned and served, turning brisket and collards into twin acts of defiance against erasure.

Twitty wields recipes like manifestos, each dish a middle finger to performative allyship.

This is food writing as excavation: unearthing the queer, the marginalized, the conveniently forgotten. Twitty wields recipes like manifestos, each dish a middle finger to performative allyship and sanitized history.
