Alexander Smalls is Southern through and through. “I’m like Faulkner,” he says. “We put commas, not periods on everything—it’s never over.” This sentiment rings true not only in his storytelling but also in his cooking, where each dish carries history, memories, and a sense of continuity.
His deep connection to Southern and Gullah Geechee cuisine naturally led him to “The Contemporary African Kitchen,” a project that explores the shared culinary heritage of the African diaspora.
