Praise Song for the Kitchen Ghosts

Raised on a farm in Kentucky, Crystal Wilkinson was brought up in the culinary traditions of Black Appalachia. Crystal will read an excerpt from her essay “Praise Song for the Kitchen Ghosts” and discuss the memories and legacies of eating at her grandmother’s table: including jam cake, biscuits, sweet black tea. This live conversation will also include a moderated Q&A with the audience.
