Notes from a Young Black Chef

by
Kwame Onwuachi

published in

2019
Cover art
July 27, 2020 Coleman M says:
Read this for both a raw look at race and class in America, and for a love letter to good food and family.
By the time he was 27, the author had opened, and closed, one of America's most talked about restaurants. He had sold drugs in New York and been shipped off to rural Nigeria to learn respect. Through it all, his love of food and cooking remained a constant, even when, as a young chef, he was forced to grapple with just how unwelcoming the food world can be for people of color.

I'm a librarian who loves reading literary books, environmental treatises, short stories, calls to social action, graphic novels and anything with a dark sense of humor. When I'm not helping library patrons, you can find me debating the merits of Star Wars, feeding my YouTube addiction or attempting to emulate my favorite authors by writing stories of my own.
