The history of food in America is intertwined with the history of enslaved people. The production and sale of food, as well as who has access to it and the land it is grown on all politicize our plates. RELATED: Lazarus Lynch on the politics and healing power of food: It's "the conduit for all beautiful things"Īs a Black chef in America, Lynch views his role as inherently political. "They are issues that we, as a community, have been given Band-Aid solutions for and have never received true reforms or systemic change," he tells Salon. Lynch is quick to remind us that these struggles are not new for Black Americans. In the wakes of the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, America also finds itself confronted with a national reckoning on race. The nation reels from a pandemic and a recession, both of which have impacted Black Americans at a disproportionate rate. Three hundred and sixty-five days later, the landscape looks not only different for Lynch but also for America as a whole. In the process, the chef gained a newfound sense of empowerment and ownership of his own narrative, which includes openly identifying as a Black queer person. It's been one year now since Lazarus Lynch released his debut cookbook, "Son of a Southern Chef: Cook with Soul." The journey of sharing his soul food bible with the world left an indelible mark on Lynch, and the colorful and vibrant book was unlike any Southern cookbook that came before it.
