In today’s episode, I am excited to welcome Morgan Bolling. Morgan is the the Executive Editor of Creative Content for Cook’s Country and a cast member of the Cook’s Country TV show. Morgan spearheaded the book When Southern Women Cook: History, Lore, and 300 Recipes in collaboration with Toni Tipton-Martin. This compelling book celebrates the ways food has sustained and empowered Southern women throughout history. This episode is a thoughtful dive into:
-
The Intersection of Southern Food and History: Inside Southern culinary traditions.
-
Behind the Book: The process of creating When Southern Women Cook and how women writers and cooks were selected to share their stories.
-
Food as a Lens: How food provides insight into shared history and cultural understanding.
-
Empowering Women Through Food: The role of food as a tool for resilience and empowerment in the South.
