𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐞𝐥 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐲 (𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗) @𝐭����𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞⁣ My latest in an ongoing series of painted heroes, aimed to spark conversation among my students. Pictured here is my homage to Michael Twitty. ⁣ ⁣ I have the privilege to have known Michael since grade-school where our class voted him “Most Likely to Succeed” and I predicted that he would write the great American novel. Both divinations have become true. Mr. Twitty is a culinary historian, honored with Colonial Williamsburg’s “Revolutionary in Residence,” and a writer, authoring “The Cooking Gene”, winner of the 2018 James Beard Foundation Book Award. ⁣ ⁣ Pictured here is a triptych that I hope embodies the nature of Michael. The bottom-left scene shows Michael in action as a pioneer, simultaneously gathering knowledge while forging new ground. The bottom-right frame displays Michael in the midst of creation, the glow of his effort shinning bright enough to light his surroundings. The main focus is a portrait of Michael set in an original kitchen amongst his tools, staring directly at the viewer as if we had just asked a question, and he is about to grace us with his wisdom and knowledge. ⁣ ⁣ 12” x 24”. Gouache on 140lbs, cold pressed watercolor paper.

Episode no. 2 which I wrote & we produced in August is up on the @thephiladelphiacitizen site! (click link in bio above to hear!)...The history of pepper pot soup, consumed (from a can) by millions of Americans throughout the 20th C,, does not begin w/ #AndyWarhol’s famous canned soup paintings (“Pepperpot” sold for a record $11.6 million) or at #Camden’s @campbells soup co or via a white (German-born) soldier in #GeorgeWashington’s army at #ValleyForge (credited for centuries as its creator). #Pepperpot originates in W. Africa, evolves in the #Caribbean and became #Philadelphia’s 1st official #signaturedish, made and sold as “smoking hot” servings by entrepreneurial #blackwomen on Philly’s waterfront streets from the #colonialera up to the eve of the 20th C. Embrace a more inclusive, true story of #PhiladelphiaPepperPot — I even have a #DELICIOUSrecipe for you there too! And an @abcthechew video where u can see me making it! ... Special shoutout to Chef @sogoodtv of @goodwinenyc for her prof recipe writing skills ‘cause erribody who knows me know I #THROWDOWN but I am NOT a recipe cook... Speakin a throwing down — ❤️felt shoutout to my beautiful cuz @saffronrougecatering who makes a cameo in this episode (my Mom 💕does too but she ain’t on IG ;) & to the esteemed @drjessicabharris who not only makes an audio appearance but 1st directed my eyes to see Philly as a northernmost #creole city many moons ago when i saw her speak at The Chef Fritz Blank Culinary Archive & Library at my alma mater @uofpenn in #WestPhilly... yrs later in 2014 dear friend & brilliant babybro #MichaelTwitty (@thecookinggene) schlepped to bklyn w/ a duffel bag full of heavy books for me to ref & use for my #historicdinner honoring chef AnneNorthup (wife of #SolomonNorthup / #12YearsASlave at @morrisjumel mansion where she lived & cooked in the 1840’s in her husband’s absence. Among those mobilized books were @a_taste_of_history Chef Walter Staib’s #CityTavern Philadelphia cookbook w/ a 300 yr old pepperpot recipe — that u hear about in this episode...

Congratulations to my young cousins, Patrick Bryant (L) and Stephen Bryant (R) (Lassiter family of Randolph County NC descendants) who graduated this week from their respective college programs in Greensboro, NC. It’s perfect. Stephen graduated from an Agricultural program and Patrick from a culinary program. Stephen will grow the food and Patrick can cook it!

Got to see Michael Twitty @thecookinggene last night at his author talk on The Cooking Gene. I can’t fit all of his genius into a few tweets or an Insta post (thank goodness @seattlepubliclibrary is releasing this author talk as a podcast), but so I want to share something he said from when he signed my copy of The Cooking Gene. Because I have no chill around people I admire, especially food writers, I think all my starstruck ass managed to say was “I’m a queer food blogger and your work is really cool” (“really cool” doesn’t even cover it!! 😭) and he said that sometimes people ask him “what does food has to do with being gay?” and vice versa. I’m paraphrasing here, but he told me that every LGBTQ+ person has a personal relationship to food informed by their identities. (The Cooking Gene and his other writing about food and identity covers his relationship to food and foodways through being Black, being Southern, being Jewish, being gay.) Now y’all’ve got it on good authority that food is queer. 🌈 And then he told me two important things: first, that we have to keep fighting (as queer folks against injustice and for our lives), and second, that he and his friends used to host a Rainbow Thanksgiving where everyone had to bring a dish that was rainbow-colored or the colors of one of the pride flags. Both messages were equally important. Thank you from the bottom of my bisexual nonbinary food-obsessed Midwestern-transplant heart. 🌈🌈💖💜💙 . . . . #thecookinggene #michaeltwitty #lhpac #blackfoodwriters #queerfoodwriters #jewishfoodwriters #southernfood #gobuythisbook #seattlepubliclibrary (at Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqLSs-zHrrF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l244de39hq5z

When i read @thecookinggene by #michaeltwitty I was blown away by its comprehensive research and inspired by the scope of its story. I had the opportunity to meet and hang with the author in #Atlanta. He took me on a tour of the @atlantahistorycenter where i learned even more valuable insight. This gem sits right in the middle of @buckhead. Who knew? #hostory #thecookinggene #book #food #atl (at Atlanta History Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmV4r24nOuQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ducbw4lodym9

Yesss! I had dinner last night with Michael Twitty, my partner Chris Bolden-Newsome, and about ten other badass Philly food and culinary justice heroes. This was after Michael Twitty, Dr. Jessica B. Harris, and Valerie Erwin gave a panel presentation on Southern Foodways hosted by the Free Library of Philadelphia. I missed the panel but loved the afterparty! If you haven’t yet, check out Twitty’s recently released “The Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South”. #thecookinggene #michaeltwitty (at Free Library of Philadelphia)
