I’m cackled at Langston Hughes’s writings about France and Paris in particular. Like tell us how you really feel lol! I was talking to a friend about Jessica B. Harris’s memoir dotted with recipes recently and how much she praised France and I agree more with Hughes tbh. Have you read Ntozake Shange’s If I Can Cook/You Know God Can? This post inspired me to finally try some of the recipes from it!

I’ve had some mixed experiences in Marseille and skipped Paris altogether when I was in France because it just didn’t feel necessary, LOL.
Going to try to grab a copy of Shange’s book while I’m still here in the states! Thanks for the rec 🤎 and always for reading and supporting the work!
