More than a cookbook, Cooking with Kings is an invitation into the King family kitchen — where meals have nourished generations while preserving stories, traditions, and values rooted in faith and family.

Written by Dr. Alveda King, her brother Derek King, Sr. and edited by her daughter Celeste Beal, this heartwarming cookbook celebrates the enduring role of food in the American story. Through recipes passed from one generation to the next, the mother-daughter duo explore how African American families have helped shape America's rich culinary heritage for more than 250 years — contributing flavors, techniques, and traditions that have become part of the nation's shared table.

"The recipes in this book remind us that we are one blood, one human race. They are seasoned with memories, faith and the love that binds generations together." — Dr. Alveda King

🎉 Special Launch Offer: The first 25 readers who pre-order will receive an exclusive invitation to a virtual cooking experience with Dr. King and Ms. Beal, where they'll prepare one of the family's favorite recipes and share the stories behind the dishes.

Pre-orders open: August 15, 2026 | Publishing: November 2026
