Great podcast!

 

Except for the title, Special Sauce,  which is beyond trite at this point

My son's editor in NYC told him he was kinda Mark Twainish but they could work with him. ! t

I received Alexander Smalls most recent cookbook, Meals, Music, and Muses: Recipes from My African American Kitchen, today and it's as delightful to read as his voice is to listen to.

I love how the chapters progress from Jazz (appetizers) through Spirituals (rice, pasta & grits) and Gospel (greens & vegetables) to Opera (fish & seafood), Divas (meat & chicken) and Jukebox Music (bread, biscuits & muffins) and finally end with Serenades (desserts) with a full playlist for each of those sections.
