Tuesday, July 26, 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm – Cooking with the Expert: African American Flavors & Stories, Online

by

A recipe is so much more than a culmination of ingredients; a recipe can carry a story, passed from generation to generation. This concept is familiar to cookbook author Nicole A. Taylor. Nicole combines traditional African-American flavors with a modern flair in recipes that encompass our past, present, and future.   

Nicole’s latest cookbook, Watermelon and Red Birds, is the first cookbook to celebrate Juneteenth. Her recipes and anecdotes aim to inspire celebrations of this important American holiday. Nicole has also written for the New York Times, Bon Appetit, and Food & Wine, and is the executive producer of If We So Choose, a documentary short about the desegregation of an iconic fast-food location.  Join GBH on July 26 as we explore her latest cookbook and cook alongside her. Bring your culinary questions to the table for Nicole to answer! 

This virtual event will begin at 7PM EDT Have a question? Contact our Audience and Member Services Department at  info@wgbh.org or 617-300-3300 Register for free ticket HERE
