Baking Legacy
Episode 6
Wednesday, 26 January, 2022

Family and nostalgia are the core of Black baking traditions and show up in recipes as a cultural heirloom. Nowhere else is this more vividly displayed than in the soul food restaurant and the proprietors who keep these traditions alive. In this episode, I talk with baker and owner of Bomb Biscuits Atlanta Erika Council (@erikajcouncil), the granddaughter of legendary chef and restaurateur Mrs. Mildred 'Mama Dip' Council, about how she and her family handles preserving their matriarch's legacy.
