Summary

Growing up in Los Angeles, Toni Tipton-Martin lived for a time with her Southern-born grandmother who happened to be a professional chef, and who exposed her to what would eventually become a lifelong passion. As Editor-in-Chief of Cook's Country Magazine and as author of books like The Jemima Code, Jubilee, and last year’s Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs, and Juice, Toni has spent much of her career as a kind of culinary detective, exploring the legacy and impact of African American food culture. Her work has garnered two James Beard Awards, a Julia Child Award, and just about every other food award there is, and she’s also a frequent host of the Cook’s Country television show and, recently, a podcast series called 100 Proof: The Golden Age of Cocktails. Sid talks to Toni about some of the memorable women and recipes she’s come across in her work, her grandmother’s cornbread dressing, and her incredible new book with America’s Test Kitchen, When Southern Women Cook: History, Lore, and 300 Recipes with Contributions from 70 Women Writers.
