On Sept. 24, 2019, we were honored to welcome in culinary historian and Jewish educator Michael Twitty at Kent State. Twitty calls his way of cooking Kosher/Soul food 鈥淎fro Ashkefardi.鈥� Black and Jewish communities are the only people commonly known to use their culinary works to talk about their history, all the while enjoying great food. His blog titled 鈥淎froculinaria鈥� gives voice to the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of African American-Jewish identity and experience. It was a heartfelt and enjoyable event.
Join us for story-telling and kosher soul food tasting with culinary historian and Jewish educator, Michael W. Twitty (@KosherSoul on Twitter). He is the James Beard award-winning author of The Cooking Gene and an internationally-recognized chef.
7 p.m. in the Ballroom of the KSU Student Center.
