Career

In the 1970s, Harris worked as a journalist before becoming a food writer. She was book review editor at Essence and theater critic for New York Amsterdam News, the United States' oldest black newspaper.[3] From July to November in 1999, she worked as a resident food historian for Sara Moulton's Cooking Live Primetime.[7] She has also appeared on various other television shows such as The Today Show, The Main Ingredient, The Curtis Aikens Show, and Good Morning America.[7]

Harris was a 2004 winner of the lifetime achievement awards from the Southern Foodways Alliance[13] and a 2010 James Beard Foundation special award honoree.[14][15] In 2017 she published a memoir My Soul Looks Back.[16]

In May 2021, Netflix released a four-episode series High on the Hog: How African American Cuisine Transformed America[17][18] based on Harris' 2011 book High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America.[19] In 2020, she won a James Beard Foundation Award for Lifetime Achievement.[20] In September 2021, she appeared on the Time 100, Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.[21]
