Join MOFAD on Wednesday, June 11, as we celebrate Braided Heritage: Recipes and Stories on the Origin of American Cuisine, the new cookbook from one of our preeminent culinary historians, Dr. Jessica B. Harris. Alongside the book’s editor, Francis Lam, Dr. Harris will reveal the sweeping story of how Indigenous, European, and African traditions intertwined to form an entirely new cuisine. You’ll learn about the stories and recipes shared by friends she’s made over the years—people whose family dishes go back to the crucial era when Native peoples encountered Europeans and the enslaved Africans they brought with them—and leave with a new, in-depth, and delicious understanding of American culinary history.
