Food News
Stoli rebrands its vodka. Rebranding doesn’t really matter here because most Americans prefers Tito’s for vodka drinking. Coffee Mate is determined to make your morning cup of coffee a dessert. They just released Drumstick Vanilla Sundae Cone flavored creamer. Congratulations to my friend Nicole Taylor! Her next book, Watermelon and Redbirds: A Cookbook for Juneteenth and Black Celebrations, will be released May 31st. Pre-order it now.
Honey Mustard
Honey mustard is a condiment that I usually employ when eating chicken fingers. However, I think honey mustard is great with pork chops and a honey mustard vinaigrette is delicious for a kale salad. Here’s a easy honey mustard recipe.

Christina Tosi’s World
I met Christina Tosi at a Christmas baking event about 10 years ago. She is a very talented and whimsical pastry chef, and I stopped by Milk Bar truck at Rockefeller Center the last time I was in New York. Her new book, Dessert Can Save the World, is more memoir than a cookbook. Read this great interview of Tosi at Taste.

Mammy Complex
I started reading Hanna Raskin’s food writing when I moved down here to Savannah. She is based in Charleston and has a Substack that you should be reading if you want to know about food culture in the South. This week she writes about Aunt Fanny’s Cabin in Smyrna, Georgia.
Hanna links to a book, Burgers in Blackface by Naa Oyo A. Kwate, who is a professor at Rutgers.
Have a delicious week,
