The Antiracist Kitchen

★“Twenty-one kid-lit authors of color share a wide array of delicious recipes as well as personal experiences related to culture, race, and racism. Accompanied by vibrant illustrations, these story-recipe pairings demonstrate how intertwined food and identity are…The result is a thoughtful, beautifully designed work that fosters inclusivity and respect…A hearty meal that doles out both culinary delights and moving cultural insights.”

★“A celebration of diversity in the form of a cookbook...Aspiring kid chefs will enjoy trying out these original recipes. The author asks, “What if talking about racism was as easy as baking a cake?” With this book, it could be. Recommended for all libraries.”

“Purchase it for your school library: teachers of nutrition can use it in their classrooms, and it will provide food for thought (and the table, lunch-bag, and home kitchen) for students who are interested in the culture of food. The diversity of ethnic food cultures is valued, and the book reminds readers that we are what we eat, and who we are is affirmed by what we eat…bold graphics underscore the message that we should all be at the table, whoever we are. Highly Recommended.”

“Nadia Hohn has done something incredible: she has taken our collective love of food and transformed it into a cultural and educational experience in anti-racism. What’s beautiful about this book are the stories and the simplicity. It’s not about elegant ingredients or elaborate menus. The Antiracist Kitchen teaches deeply profound lessons on self-love, discrimination and social struggles through a series of personal, intimate stories. Sometimes food is the lesson, other times food is the messenger. What you get out of this anthology, however, is a clear picture of what it means to belong and how not belonging can severely impact our lives.”

“A delicious read, chock-full of love, pride, and a whole lotta spice!”

“An outstanding anthology that shows us the power of community and our interconnectedness! Through the amazing recipes and stories shared, readers will learn that celebrating, listening and learning from each other is an intentional way to fight against racism. This anthology is a work of love and it feels like a warm hug.”

“The Antiracist Kitchen nourishes both body and mind with its heartwarming stories, beautiful illustrations, and delicious recipes from around the world. This collection needs to be in every kitchen!”

“Nadia L. Hohn’s latest creation is a testament to her work as an artivist… Illustrator Roza Nozari brings a colourful boost to the collection with her bold and bright artwork.”

“[Offers] teachable moments and memorable anecdotes.”

“A must-read for anyone seeking to broaden their culinary horizons, embrace cultural diversity, and engage in meaningful conversations about race and unity. It’s an invitation to transform our kitchens into spaces where differences are celebrated, conversations flourish, and delicious meals are shared with love and understanding.”

“Guaranteed to begin discussions and build understanding…Whether readers plan and share meals, gain insight into diverse cultural experiences, discover new authors, or expand discussions about social justice, their lives will be enriched and feelings of tolerance and inclusion will be spread.”
