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

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 — EPUB: the complete book, all 6 chapters, full text, readable on any e-reader, tablet, or phone; every chapter closes with its sources and a method note — contested origins labeled contested, never settled by assertion. Kid-Kitchen Activities — one safe activity closes every chapter: no knives, no frying, no heat steps for children, with handwashing and allergy notes in every box. For educators: a TEKS correlation sheet for this volume is available with the Foodways Educator materials — claiming only what the sheet claims; eligible, not district-adopted.

The chapters: Naming It Soul · The Restaurant Keepers · Cookbooks with Names on Them · The Scholars and the Storytellers · New Kitchens, Old Roots · The Receipts Are Ours Now

The Interactive Edition of this same book adds recorded narration by Marcus (26.32 minutes), a chronological timeline, and a 10-question quiz. The hands that fed America — named at last. All receipts.
