Henry Prize-winning writer Crystal Wilkinson was baking a jam cake, she felt her late grandmother's presence. She soon realized that she was not the only cook in her kitchen; there were her ancestors, too, stirring, measuring, and braising alongside her. These are her kitchen ghosts, five generations of Black women who settled in Appalachia and made a life, a legacy, and a cuisine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn expert cook, Wilkinson shares nearly forty family recipes rooted deep in the past, full of flavor—delicious favorites, including \u003cb\u003eCorn Pudding\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eChicken and Dumplings\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eGranny Christine's Jam Cake\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003ePraisesong Biscuits\u003c\/b\u003e. Together, \u003ci\u003ePraisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts\u003c\/i\u003e honors the mothers who came before, the land that provided for generations of her family, and the untold heritage of Black Appalachia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the keeper of her family's stories and treasured dishes, Wilkinson shares her inheritance in \u003ci\u003ePraisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts\u003c\/i\u003e.
