If you're like me...

Then you like to cook.  Most times I tend to tie myself to French cuisine, as its my favorite to cook.  I occasionally veer off to Basque and some northern Italian.  Then I heard this:

Great bit on NPR about a gentleman who, after a brief prison stint, became an award-winning author and cooking-show star.  Half history, half cookbook, his most recent work documents traditional soulfood and the stories it comes with.

Thus, I will most certainly be venturing forth.  African-American cuisine, a first for me.
