Episode Description from the Publisher

Toya Boudy is back. Since her debut cookbook came out in 2023, life has thrown a lot at her: divorce, her mother's health struggles, sobriety, and raising three kids. Her new book, Cooking from Scratch, is the result of all of it. Kate and Toya talk about rebuilding after everything falls apart, and about Malinda Russell, a free woman of color who published a cookbook in 1866 and packed it with everything her community might need to survive. Toya believes Russell came to her for a reason. Check out all these incredible recipes from Toya's new book, Cooking from Scratch:Crispy Potato Salad: https://bittmanproject.com/recipe/crispy-potato-salad/African Spinach Stew: https://bittmanproject.com/recipe/african-spinach-stew/Plain Cake: https://bittmanproject.com/recipe/plain-cake/Homestyle White Beans: https://bittmanproject.com/recipe/homestyle-white-beans/Oyster Dip: https://bittmanproject.com/recipe/oyster-dip/Mini Crawfish Pies: https://bittmanproject.com/recipe/mini-crawfish-pies/ Hosted on Acast.
