a conversation with Sukari Bowman
Toni Tipton-Martin is a culinary journalist and community activist and the author of the James Beard Award-winning The Jemima Code and Jubilee, named a James Beard Award winner and Book of the Year by the IACP. In Jubilee, Tipton-Martin brings these masters into our kitchens. Through recipes and stories, we cook along with these pioneering figures, from enslaved chefs to middle- and upper-class writers and entrepreneurs. With more than 100 recipes, from classics such as Sweet Potato Biscuits, Seafood Gumbo, Buttermilk Fried Chicken, and Pecan Pie with Bourbon to lesser-known but even more decadent dishes like Bourbon & Apple Hot Toddies, Spoon Bread, and Baked Ham Glazed with Champagne, Jubilee presents techniques, ingredients, and dishes that show the roots of African American cooking—deeply beautiful, culturally diverse, fit for a celebration.

*Correction: Sukari’s podcast is The Color of Wine not Love and Vines
“As a self-proclaimed “wine-o”, Sukari’s mission is to make wine more approachable. You won’t find any wine ratings or sliding scales on this blog. You will find out what Sukari is drinking and where she is drinking it. There will be wine and food and wine and music pairing suggestions (note: Suggestions, not Rules!). The overall experience you are having can affect how a bottle of wine or a meal tastes and how it feels going down. Here, we will focus on the experience, and will support you on where ever that experience takes you. Sukari is always looking to improve her tasting chops (which is always interesting!). She first learned about wine from her amazing Mom and continues to learn from weekly tastings (organized through wine stores and restaurants and those that she hosts on her own), tons of reading and her friends in the wine business. Sukari is a California girl, with a New Orleans soul, energy of NYC and the laid back elegance of the South, Atlanta to be exact.”—https://loveandvines.com/
