    An accomplished food historian and critically acclaimed cookbook author, Jessica B. Harris has spent much of her life documenting the food and foodways of the African Diaspora. Her books include Iron Pots & Wooden Spoons: Africa’s Gifts to New World Cooking, The Welcome Table: African American Heritage Cooking and Beyond Gumbo: Creole Fusion Food From the Atlantic Rim. The culmination of years of research, High on the Hog is an engaging history of African American cuisine that tracks the trials and changes that both the people and the food have undergone along the way.
