We’re getting two recipes in one this week with Nicole A. Taylor. She talks to Jesse about how she landed the deal for her one-of-a-kind cookbook, why we shouldn’t be so quick to write off dried herbs, and her One: Sweet Potato Hash covered in a seasoning that’s worth its weight in gold. Nicole A. Taylor is food writer, producer, and the author of Watermelon and Red Birds: A Cookbook for Juneteenth and Black Celebrations. You can follow her on Instagram or Twitter @foodculturist.
