Foodways Vol. 6 — Soul Food and Its Reinventions: Chefs, Restaurants, and Cookbooks Take the Mic (Kid-Friendly Edition — Interactive Edition)

Soul food got its name in the 1960s — and young readers learn that nobody gets named its single inventor, because the record does not name one. They meet Sylvia Woods of Sylvia's (1962), Leah Chase of Dooky Chase's — founded in 1941 by Emily and Edgar Chase Sr., the family Leah joined by marriage in 1946 — cookbook authors with their names on the covers, and today's chefs cooking old roots in new kitchens. 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 (26.32 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.
