At the beginning of 2020, Alicia Kennedy saw her freelance income evaporate almost overnight: An anchoring contributing editor job was discontinued, and her wages at a contributing writer position were reduced. She had been toying with the idea of starting a newsletter one that might offer readers something more substantial than an abandoned TinyLetter newsletter she enjoyed years back. So she began writing From the Desk of Alicia Kennedy, her weekly dispatch on food, politics, media, and other musings, and less than one year later, the newsletter is second-most popular in the food category on the publishing platform Substack. With around 1,700 paid subscribers (and another 13,000 who opt for the free version), it has become Kennedy s mai

THE WASHINGTON POST – When Klancy Miller launched her fundraising campaign for
For the Culture in December 2019, the food media world took notice. With the mission of “A magazine celebrating Black women and femmes in food”, it is believed to be the first of its kind dedicated to the task. Now, more than a year later, the inaugural issue has been printed and shipped to supporters – and is available for purchase online.
“I’m feeling very excited. And, frankly, relieved,” Miller said. “And a little bit protective.”
Both as a writer and consumer of food media, Miller, the magazine’s editor in chief, noticed a lack of coverage of people of colour in the mainstream for much of her career. And roughly four years ago, “Cherry Bombe asked me to guest edit an all-Black issue, which I found really intriguing”, Miller said.

I d like to shift toward using a vegan egg substitute for scrambled eggs and in baking in the year to come, but for poached eggs on toast or these baked eggs with breadcrumbs and greens, I m happy to pay a little extra to a local farmer for a top-notch protein that s easy and quick to cook, no matter the time of day.
Eggs in Greens with Breadcrumbs
Crispy, coarse breadcrumbs, tender slow-cooked kale, runny-yolked eggs and a bracing dash of vinegar: This is an excellent brunch dish that s endlessly adaptable for your greens - adjust the cooking time as necessary (I call for kale and spinach here and find that it s best when cooked low and slow). You ll taste the vinegar in this dish, so try to use a good-quality one. Simply rewarm them before adding the eggs and sliding the pan into the oven; you ll need about 1 heaping cup.

Who could have predicted what this year would bring? It s been a tough 365 days for everyone some more than others but one of the things that s brought joy to many of us is the opportunity to find our way back into the kitchen.
During this holiday season, I truly believe that one of the most thoughtful gifts is a cookbook that s been chosen based on the interests of the intended recipient, such as their big culinary dreams, their current eating patterns, their favorite flavors or the ways in which they want to grow in the New Year.
