People are always surprised that Black people reside in the hills of Appalachia. Those not surprised that we were there, are surprised that we stayed.
Years ago, when O. Henry Prize-winning writer Crystal Wilkinson was baking a jam cake, shefelt her late grandmother's presence. She soon realized that she was not the only cook in herkitchen; there were her ancestors, too, stirring, measuring, and braising alongside her. These areher kitchen ghosts, five generations of Black women who settled in Appalachia and made a life,a legacy, and a cuisine.
An expert cook, Wilkinson shares nearly forty family recipes rooted deep in the past, full offlavor-delicious favorites including Corn Pudding, Chicken and Dumplings, GrannyChristine's Jam Cake, and Praisesong Biscuits, brought to vivid life through stunningphotography. Together, Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts honors the mothers who came before,the land that provided for generations of her family, and the untold heritage of Black Appalachia.
As the keeper of her family's stories and treasured dishes,Wilkinson shares her inheritance in Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts. She found their stories in her apron pockets, floating inside the steam of hot mustard greens and tucked into the sweet scent of clove and cinnamon in her kitchen. Part memoir, part cookbook, Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts weaves those stories together with recipes, family photos, and a lyrical imagination to present a culinary portrait of a family that has lived and worked the earth of the mountains for over a century.
