In this episode, we dive into Black culinary arts with a true innovator, Nicole Taylor. Nicole is not just a chef but a storyteller who designs Juneteenth experiences through her vibrant cookbook, "Watermelon & Red Birds."
Join Joanna & Nicole as they explore over 75 recipes from refreshing Afro-Egg Cream to savory Peach Jam & Molasses Glazed Chicken Thighs, and the innovative Cantaloupe with Feta salad. Her book, perfect for any kitchen from spring to fall, also highlights fun kitchen gadgets to elevate your Juneteenth celebrations and beyond.
Nicole's journey from Georgia to Brooklyn and her contributions to New York Times, Bon Appétit, and Food & Wine are as inspiring as her James Beard Award-nominated writing. We'll also discuss her work as the executive producer of "If We So Choose" and her role in co-founding The Maroon, a sanctuary for Black creatives.
Tune in to discover how Nicole Taylor blends culture, flavor, and innovation in every dish, and why her work is a must-have for culinary enthusiasts.
