My holiday gift for ya’ll is here — it arrived on the @thephiladelphiacitizen site on Christmas Day in fact! My website link in my IG bio above will take you to that and all of the podcast episodes, videos and bonus recipes too (or you ‘copy & paste’ the kwanzaa episode link right here: https://thephiladelphiacitizen.org/kwanzaa-traditions/) to hear a fresh out the oven new podcast episode on the fascinating ancient African food history & traditions behind the 1966 birth of this uniquely American holiday called Kwanzaa (Swahili for “First Fruits”) with special audio appearances from 2X @beardfoundation award-winning author #MichaelTwitty (@thecookinggene) + Dr. Karenga himself: creator/founder of Kwanzaa❣️🖤💚, Ms. Maisha Ongoza of The Kwanzaa Cooperative and Mr. Vince Thompson (@mediamancomm): Kwanzaa Campaigner/Crusader & Ignitor of the iconic @boathouse_row Boat House Row Lighting Legacy!...Special shoutout of heartfelt thanks to Production Mgr & “Podcast Doula” Laura C. and the fab folks #MarketRoadFilms who make so much magic happen❣️ I also included one of my only cookie 🍪 recipes (I don’t really have a #sweettooth and am more of a kick a%& cook than a baker;) showing you how to make super simple — and naturally delicious — (customizable) Kwanzaa cookies! You can make ‘em round or flat ; add in stuff like dried fruits or dark chocolate or holiday spices if you like ... You can even turn them into gifts for somebody else! Either way, ENJOY!

• There’s also a link to my pepperpot 🥘 🥄 recipe —a near perfect hearty winter stew that’s spiced just right for the holiday season 😋⛄❄️🕎🕯️🎄❤️🖤💚🎁🎊... .

Episode no. 2 which I wrote & we produced in August is up on the @thephiladelphiacitizen site! (click link in bio above to hear!)...The history of pepper pot soup, consumed (from a can) by millions of Americans throughout the 20th C,, does not begin w/ #AndyWarhol’s famous canned soup paintings (“Pepperpot” sold for a record $11.6 million) or at #Camden’s @campbells soup co or via a white (German-born) soldier in #GeorgeWashington’s army at #ValleyForge (credited for centuries as its creator). #Pepperpot originates in W. Africa, evolves in the #Caribbean and became #Philadelphia’s 1st official #signaturedish, made and sold as “smoking hot” servings by entrepreneurial #blackwomen on Philly’s waterfront streets from the #colonialera up to the eve of the 20th C.
