BIG NEWS, Y’ALL BOI 🎉 I’m beyond thrilled to finally share that I’m writing my first cookbook, “From the Roota to the Toota,” with the incredible @4colorbooks, @bryantterry, and @jauneclaire! 🍽️ This book is a love letter to our southern roots, our heritage, and the stories we tell through food. It’s been nearly 3 years in the making, and I couldn’t have done it without the unwavering support of my amazing book agent @sallyekus and the brilliant team at @jvnlainc. Your belief in me and this project kept me going, and I am forever grateful. This journey has been and will be a labor of love, and I can’t wait to bring you along for the ride. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this! Set your alarms, mark your calendars, and get ready to cook with me when “From the Roota to the Toota” drops in 2027. 🚀 Stay tuned for sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes moments, and more as we get closer to launch. Trust me, you’ll want to be first in line for *”From the Roota to the Toota”*—it’s GAME TIME 💪🏽 #FromTheRootaToTheToota #CookbookAnnouncement #FoodCulture #Coming2027 #cookbook #bookannouncement #southcarolina #blackchefs #gullahgeechee #lowcountry #southernfood

Made @Chefelrod and @alliago’s baby kale strawberry salad (with some tweaks (🍒 instead of blackberries)), and it was outstanding! Happy Juneteenth ❤️♥️❤️

Got this beauty today from @Chefelrod . If you’re looking for a book to share with your little (and grownup) ones, you need to have a copy of The Juneteenth Cookbook! It’s beautiful, informative, and FUN!!
