Summary

Welcome to Splendid Table Selects, our mini-podcast where we feature great discussions about the joy of making and sharing good food. This episode of Selects features a lovely conversation between the legendary Patti LaBelle and our contributor Shauna Sever. We all know Miss LaBelle is an iconic singer, but what you might not know is that she is nearly as passionate about cooking as she is about music. She found the kitchen to be a magical place ever since she was a small child, learning to cook and bake alongside her parents. As a well-traveled superstar, she now shares her culinary experience and knowledge with the world by way of a series of cookbooks and recipes including her world-famous sweet potato pie.

Thanks to our presenting sponsor Bob’s Red Mill featuring Organic All-Purpose Flour, premium baking flour freshly milled from organic hard red wheat. You can use it in all kinds of baking goods: yeast breads, quick breads, biscuits, muffins, cookies, cakes and pie crust.
