An Evening with Anela Malik

The Davenport House Museum, a historic property owned and operated by Historic Savannah Foundation, and Coastal Table and Tales, Savannah’s first dedicated cookbook store and culinary gathering space, will join forces to welcome acclaimed author Anela Malik as part of the national book tour for her new release, "American Soul: The Black History of Food in the United States." The centerpiece of Malik’s Savannah visit will be a public talk and book signing on Wed., Sept. 24, 5:30-7:30 p.m., at the Davenport House Museum. 

This lively discussion will be moderated by Savannah-based writer and editor Amy Paige Condon, co-author of celebrated works on Gullah Geechee and African American foodways. Attendees will also be invited to contribute to a Food Memory Wall, sharing recipes and stories that honor their own food traditions.

Tickets are $60 per person. Every ticket includes a signed copy of "American Soul" and a tasting experience inspired by the book, featuring hibiscus aid and the pound cake that graces its pages.
