Foodways Vol. 4 — The Church Kitchen: Repasts, Fundraisers, and Feeding a People (Kid-Friendly Edition — Interactive Edition)

Church kitchens fed funerals, fundraisers, freedom work, and family reunions — and young readers meet the kitchen committees and church mothers who made it happen, and Georgia Gilmore, whose cooking helped fund a bus boycott. The repast chapter is warm and brief: feeding people through grief, with no founding date invented. Every chapter ends with a safe Kid-Kitchen Activity: no knives, no frying, and no heat steps for children.

Inside the Kid-Friendly Edition — Interactive Edition: the complete book, all 6 chapters, full text; recorded narration by Marcus (23.58 minutes, every chapter read aloud); a chronological timeline; a 10-question quiz drawn strictly from the text; every chapter closes with its sources and a method note. Kid-Kitchen Activities — one safe activity closes every chapter: no knives, no frying, no heat steps for children (any heat step is marked a grown-up step), with handwashing and allergy notes in every box; activities are labeled "inspired by" the chapter, never presented as a historical person's actual recipe. For educators: a TEKS correlation sheet for this volume is available with the Foodways Educator materials — mapped against the adopted Texas standards, claiming only what the sheet claims; eligible, not district-adopted.

The chapters: After the Funeral: The Repast · Dinner Sales and Building Funds · The Kitchen Committee · Feeding the Movement · Homecoming, Family Reunion, Church Anniversary · Who's Cooking Next?
