Adrian Miller is a food historian whose work traces the African American roots of American cuisine. His debut, Soul Food: The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine, One Plate at a Time (2013), won the James Beard Award for its thorough examination of how soul food developed and spread across the country.
Miller followed Soul Food with The President’s Kitchen Cabinet (2017), which told the stories of African Americans who cooked for the White House from the Washington administration onward. He also edits the Ferris and Ferris book series, which publishes works on Southern culture, food, and history.
