Description

Welcome back to another episode of The Soul Food Pod with your host, Southern soul food blogger and cookbook author Shaunda Necole!




Episode 18 wraps up the podcast's first season, and this episode is all about New Year's Soul Food and African American traditions said to bring good luck and prosperity into the New Year!




Shaunda shares a soulful guide to start the New Year on the right foot, including a mouthwatering New Year's soul food menu, recipe ideas, and African American holiday traditions.




One of the stars of New Year's soul food is a Southern Hoppin John recipe. This delightful dish combines Southern and African American flavors, featuring black-eyed peas, collard greens, and rice as its main ingredients.




But wait, there's more! Because Shaunda goes into detail about New Year's African American traditions. She shares personal stories and "legend-has-it" practices as to why iconic soul food holiday dishes like Hoppin John and black-eyed peas are commonly served up with scrumptious homemade cornbread and pork jowl bacon, all cooked to perfection using different methods, including stovetop, Instant Pot, and Crockpot.




The quicker modern cooking appliances show no need to wait to consume good fortune and prosperity!




Shaunda reveals that The Soul Food Pod will return for a second season to celebrate more Southern soul food recipes. So stay tuned! Then Shaunda wraps up season one and sounds off with her signature reminder: "Food for the body is not enough. There must be food for the soul."
