In his new book, The Cooking Gene, Michael traces his ancestors back to their arrival in the 1700s as enslaved Africans. In NC, he traces his lineage back to 1674.

About Michael Twitty The Washington Post Review:
"Should there ever be a competition to determine the most interesting man in the world, Michael W. Twitty would have to be considered a serious contender. Twitty, a self-taught independent culinary historian who lives in Rockville, Md., is partial to dressing in the period attire of antebellum slaves, picking tobacco to get a sense of how his African American ancestors once lived and cooking using ancient methods so fiery that he singes the hair off his arms and eyebrows. He is a man of substantial girth — and proud of it. He has described himself as 'four time blessed' — 'large of body, gay, African American and Jewish.' "
