Koshersoul: The Faith and Food Journey of an African American Jew by Michael W. Twitty is an eclectic recipe collection exploring the intersections between food and identity, and showcasing dishes designed for such religious and cultural celebrations as Yom Kippur, Hanukkah and Juneteenth. In his sensational debut, The Cooking Gene,Twitty introduced readers to his American journey as a Black, gay man of Southern heritage who entered Jewish culture and religion through food, his favorite medium. This book, the second entry of a planned trilogy, presents his particular brand of "koshersoul" recipes inspired by Southern Jewish, Afro-Caribbean, West and Central African flavors, including Black-Eyed Pea Hummus; Yam Latkes; Senegalese-Inspired Chicken Soup; Swahili Roast Chicken; and Peach Noodle Kugel. A hearty immersion into Black and Jewish culinary traditions. --Shahina Piyarali, reviewer
