About this listen

 Dan Souza and co-host Elle Simone sit down with culinary historian Dr. Jessica B. Harris to talk about her new book, Braided Heritage. They explore the foundational food cultures of the Americas: Native, European, and African, and how these influences shaped the way we cook and eat today. Dr. Harris shares her love of okra, the surprising story of her beginnings as an English teacher, and her fondness for Schoolhouse Rock. She also walks us through an unexpected recipe for fried maple leaves. Check out our recipes for Detroit, French Bread, and Neapolitan-Style Pizza on our website! Learn more about your ad choices.
