Trap Kitchen

De: Malachi Jenkins, Roberto Smith, Marisa Mendez, Buck 50 Productions - producer

Narrado por: L. Steven Taylor

When two former members of Los Angeles' most nefarious rival gangs decided to unite under one oven, they had no idea that they would be creating an empire.

Trap Kitchen is more than just a cookbook. It's a glimpse into the meals that have now become famous in the LA streets thanks to the series of pop-up restaurants that continue to bloom throughout the area. Celebrities and residents alike flock to the locations for soulful meals, but it's more than that. Having lost friends and family to violence, we learn how the masterminds behind Trap Kitchen sought to change the paths they were on, using cooking as their driving force.

While other cookbooks may boast a level of urban-skewed appeal in their realness, this cookbook also delves into the stories of why they became involved in cooking in the first place. It's a heartfelt and stomach-filling experience to learn how two men changed their stars by seeking out peace and good food for themselves and their community.

Proud and Delicious

Hard to get into at first and I had to put it down for a while. The tough talk and language had me thinking the story wasn't for me. But I started listening again after audible kept autostarting on where I left off, so I said what the heck and determined to finish the book. Turns out it's a rags to riches kind of story and I felt proud to see a young man do good. After listening to the recipes I can see why they flocked to his kitchen. Delicious!
