I consider myself a foodie, thanks to my late mother, a world-class home chef who had me eating cuisines such as creole and cajun (the food of her people), in the 1960s and 1970s long before they became fashionable. And when we lived in Europe in the first half of the 1970s, mom had a side hustle of selling her soul food specialties to homesick Black Americans, including the late singer Bill Withers when he was on a European tour.
