Koshersoul: The Faith and Food Journey of an African American Jew | Michael W. Twitty

Nonfiction time. Poor Casey‘s got a bad stomach today, so he was happy to curl up close beside me while I read another chunk of this excellent book on faith and food.

I am totally blown away by this book in which the author, a culinary historian and a Jew, talks about the intersection of Black and Jewish cultures. Just fascinating!

SqueakyChu I can‘t wait to try some of the recipes at the end of this book, although this is not a cookbook per se. (edited) 1y

Two years ago my bookclub read The Cooking Gene and we had the BEST discussion where we also spoke about the similarities between the black community and Jewish community. So I‘m SO HAPPY that Michael took the time to write this book. Im excited to hear what he has to say. He‘s a brilliant creative mind.

Megabooks I hope you love it! 2y

Cinfhen He‘s such a brilliant guy but im not sure I love his writing style- it‘s hard to follow his train of thought. I had similar problems with his first book - he needs to self edit 😜 I have a feeling im soon gonna find myself skipping ahead @Megabooks (edited) 2y

This one was fascinating. While I missed out of the first in his trilogy about the food that made him, The Cooking Gene, I was so glad to jump in with this one! Twitty, who is Black, Jewish, and gay, looks at the intersection of soul food and kosher food, which I didn‘t know was a thing. Part memoir, he shares his journey in Judaism and how his other intersectional identities affected it, but I enjoyed most learning about the food. Caveat ⬇️

Megabooks ⬆️ at times reading the #audiobook, it was hard to follow all the Hebrew and Yiddish words. It may have been easier to follow the print book as a non-Jew, but I did enjoy it and his narration. (edited) 2y

Cinfhen SUPER curious about this one!!! 2y

Megabooks @Cinfhen I‘m dying to hear about southern kosher meals when you and N&A find them!! 2y

Cinfhen Ha!! Definitely need to explore that 2y

Really enjoying this #audiobook that just released yesterday! I‘m sure it‘s already on your TBR and/or book club schedule @Cinfhen 💜😘

Cinfhen We read his first book for bookclub and had a great discussion-

The Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African-American Culinary History in the Old South

Cinfhen Definitely on my #ReadersRadar glad to hear it‘s good so far ♥️ 2y

Megabooks @Cinfhen I remember you saying that about your book club, and I meant to read TCG, but it just didn‘t happen. However when I saw this at my library, I had to jump! I think you‘ll really enjoy it! (edited) 2y
