Juneteenth Cookout 2022: Celebrating Black Cookbook Authors
Join me in celebrating Juneteenth with 18 other Black culinary creators. This year, we are honoring 19 Black American cookbook authors by recreating their recipes, amplifying their work, and sharing our connections to Freedom Day. Juneteenth marks our country’s second independence day, the final emancipation of those enslaved in the US announced in 1865.

Homemade Raspberry and Lime Sherbet
Homemade raspberry and lime sherbet is a refreshing frozen dessert that includes real berries and zesty limes. This recipe gives you a flavorful combination that is sweet, tart, and creamy in each bite. Using an ice cream maker gives it that soft churned texture. I know, I know!

How I define “Mise En Place”
What is Mise En Place? Mise en place, pronounced (MEEZ ahn plas) is a French culinary term that means to have all of your cooking tools and recipe ingredients ready before you begin cooking a meal.
