Happy Black History Month! Here's a rec list of our favorite queer books by Black authors. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators!)

can I get some hands? yes, please, chef 😈

do you have a crush on Alton Brown on Cutthroat Kitchen or Ayo Edebri on The Bear? maybe you just really love making food or eating a really good meal? do you make sure to lick your plate clean and finish your meal? then this is the list for you!

hopefully the chefs in these books make your mouth water 🤤

to quote Hudson Williams: munch munch munch yum yum yum

chefs, bakers, baristas, chocolatiers—unite! whether you’re a fan of sweet or savoury, these titles are bound to raise the heat in the kitchen (and the bedroom)

grab your Kiss The Chef apron and book a table with these MCs 💋 no idiot sandwiches allowed

do you remember The Wiggles song “Fruit Salad”? or maybe “I Like to Eat Apples and Bananas”? what about any song from Veggietales like “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything”?

this list is freshly harvested and full of books with (specifically) fruits and veggies in the title or on the cover 🌶️🥭🍒🍋🫑🥕🍓🍑🥝🫐🍇🥒

some are more appropriate than others 😈

as always, please feel free to suggest any books I missed!
