Black to the Kitchen is a genre-defying cookbook that retraces and reclaims Afro-culinary heritage. Blending authentic recipes, ancestral testimonies, and archival research, Dillon Avery Harp explores Black kitchen spaces and recipes as powerful living archives of resilience, and cultural preservation.
This project combs through generations of foodways—from open hearths in the Congo to plantation kitchens in the Americas—to trace how Black communities have transformed cooking into an act of cultural continuity.
