As the first chill of autumn crawls through the pines and smoke from the chimneys rises, there’s nothing quite like a steaming bowl of chili and a skillet of cornbread to pull you back to a simpler time. But when Robbie Montgomery served up her cornbread to a hungry Tina Turner in the 1960s, it wasn’t just about feeding a legend—it was about preserving a piece of the South’s soul, a recipe passed down through hands that have felt joy, pain, and a touch of the unknown.
Look for Anne Byrn’s book, Baking in the American South, On Amazon.
Look for Robbie Montgomery’s book, Sweetie Pie’s Cookbook, on Amazon.
You can find Edward Phillips on YouTube. Go to @Edwardphillipsroots for more of his music. Learn about the history behind the Delta and Piedmont Blues. Edward brings the music of Sun House, Blind Willie Johnson, and Robert Johnson to life with his stories.
Cornbread and Miguel lay hands on the land.
