StoryFromTheKitchen

My passion for food started in a kitchen in Prentiss, Mississippi, watching my mother and my grandmother, Willie Mae White, turn almost nothing into something that brought the whole family to the table. That kitchen is the reason this channel exists.

I studied history in college and focused on cuisine at The Art Institute of Dallas. Somewhere between those two things, I realized the most powerful stories in food aren't in textbooks. They're in the reasons why food works the way it does, and those who figured that out.

Enslaved cooks who built dishes from scraps. Appalachian families who survived on beans and cornbread. Creole women who sold rice fritters on the streets of New Orleans to buy their freedom. Chinese restaurant kitchens that developed techniques culinary schools still can't fully explain. Every dish exists for a reason. That reason is always a story. This channel will display it.

I also cook privately in Dallas–Fort Worth. StoryFromTheKitchen.com
