Bryant Terry and the Black FOOD Anthology

Bryant Terry — the chef, author, and food justice activist who has spent 25 years connecting African American and African diaspora culinary tradition to the contemporary food justice and plant-based cooking movements — edited the landmark anthology Black Food: Stories, Art, and Recipes from Across the African Diaspora (2021), which brought together over 100 Black contributors from across the diaspora to document the full geographic and cultural range of Black cooking.
