Celebrating Women of Color in Food Culture for International Women's Day.
As we celebrate International Women's Day, it's essential to reflect on the incredible contributions women have made to culinary history. In particular, we honor the trailblazing women of color who have shaped food culture and left a lasting impact on the world of cuisine. From chefs and entrepreneurs to activists and writers, these women have broken barriers, challenged stereotypes, and inspired generations. Let's take a moment to celebrate their stories.
One such pioneer is Edna Lewis, often called the "Grand Dame" of Southern cooking. Born in Freetown, Virginia, in 1916, Lewis grew up deeply appreciating fresh, seasonal ingredients and traditional Southern cooking techniques. She became a renowned chef, cookbook author, and culinary educator, preserving and sharing the rich culinary heritage of the American South. Her book, "The Taste of Country Cooking," is considered a classic and has inspired countless chefs and home cooks alike.
Another iconic figure is Leah Chase, the "Queen of Creole Cuisine." Chase was the chef and co-owner of Dooky Chase's Restaurant in New Orleans, a gathering place for artists, activists, and politicians during the Civil Rights Movement. Through her cooking, Chase celebrated the flavors of Creole cuisine while using her restaurant as a platform for social change, making it a safe space for African Americans to dine together during segregation.
In the realm of food activism, we find the inspiring story of LaDonna Redmond. Redmond is a food justice activist and advocate for urban agriculture and community-led food systems. She has worked tirelessly to address food insecurity and inequity, particularly in historically marginalized communities. Her work demonstrates the power of food as a tool for social change.
Turning our attention to the world of food media, we must recognize the contributions of Pati Jinich. Jinich is a Mexican-American chef, cookbook author, and host of the PBS series "Pati's Mexican Table." Throughout her work, Jinich celebrates Mexico's vibrant flavors and culinary traditions, introducing audiences worldwide to the richness of Mexican cuisine. She has received numerous accolades for her work, including a James Beard Award for Best Television Program, and continues to inspire home cooks with her accessible recipes and warm personality.
These are just a few examples of the remarkable women of color who have impacted fine dining. Their stories remind us of the importance of representation in the food world and inspire us to continue celebrating and honoring the contributions of women everywhere. Cheers to their legacy, and may their stories continue to inspire future generations of chefs, food activists, and culinary enthusiasts alike.

Goober Bites: It's Time to Save Our Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Hey there, ice cream lovers! Is it just me, or have you noticed a change in the ice cream aisle lately? The classic favorite, chocolate chip ice cream, seems to be melting away from the spotlight. In fact, according to a recent report by The New York Times, our beloved scoop of nostalgia is facing a decline in popularity.
But fear not, fellow dessert devotees, let's dive into the delicious details and uncover why this creamy concoction is no longer chilling at the top of our list.
Picture this: a gooey swirl of vanilla ice cream studded with chunks of yummy chocolate chips - a timeless treat that has graced dessert tables for generations. So, what's causing this flavor to fizzle? Some speculate that the rise of exotic and innovative flavors like Matcha Mint and Lavender Honey has stolen the limelight, leaving poor old chocolate chip feeling a bit plain in comparison. Others suggest that health-conscious consumers are turning away from sugary indulgences, opting instead for dairy-free or low-calorie alternatives.
But hey, don't count chocolate chip ice cream out just yet! As flavors come and go, classics have a way of making a sweet comeback. So, next time you're at the freezer section, why not give that old familiar pint a second chance? A scoop of chocolate chip ice cream might be just the thing to reignite your love for this timeless treat. After all, some flavors never go out of style - they only need a little extra scoop of love to stay in the game.
