What else are you reading or watching these days?

I just read this food genealogy book, “The Cooking Gene” by Michael Twitty. It’s tracing his family’s roots in West Africa and also in the South. It’s beautifull­y, lyrically written and so deeply familiar to me. He talks lovingly and passionate­ly about the role of food in communitie­s and people’s lives. It enthralled me.
