Today we will be discussing the importance of recipes in the continuation of family heritage. Using food as a means to bridge generations one to another, we hope this discussion will inspire you to head back to the family dinner table to hear from one another, learn about your past, and figure out where you fit in the bigger story of your family's future. 

 

One mentioned podcast episode we referred back to is "Southern Cookbooks." Link to that episode here: https://steelmagnoliaspodcast.com/episode/southern-cookbooks

 

We appreciate The University of Tennessee for inviting us to share this message at Alumni College this summer.

Dockery Farms was established by Will Dockery in 1895 to produce cotton, America’s most important export of the 19th and early 20th century. African Americans who came to Dockery to cultivate cotton created a culture that inspired the music we know as the Blues. In the words of B.B. King “You might say it all started right here.” We took a trip to see the farm for ourselves on the Mississippi Blues Trail so meet as at the table for more adventures from the Delta….   If you follow this show closely you know that at the end of March we visited Mississippi for the 2nd time since having this podcast… that’s the only 2 times we’ve ever been and there is SO much to learn about the history and culture there that we have divided up episodes from our recent trip to share with you. Today is the final episode from our Delta travels and we are excited to talk about Dockery Farms, located in Cleveland, MS… in the northern part of the state… 2 hours north of Jackson, MS… 2 hours south of Memphis, TN

Charles Philip Arthur George also known as Charles III is King of the United Kingdom and the 14 other commonwealth realms. On May 6, 2023, The Archbishop of Canterbury will lead the coronation for King Charles.

Laura is a native of Mississippi and lives here in Nashville with her husband and sons. She creates fantastic videos that show us exactly how to handle the old things, how to care for them, use them, and just love on them. She writes, entertains, and is just a lovely southerner. Grab your cup and meet me at the table.   Whether you intend to watch the King’s coronation or not, it’s incredibly hospitable and just fun  to have a friend over for tea.  Let Laura Stockett Roberts inspire you to set your table and invite a friend over!   Spotify’s Coronation Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1lCJ7YSSgojZwz79h8bXer   Connect with Laura Stockett Roberts:

A destination in its own right with its vibrant, downtown shops and restaurants must see attractions and great hotels. The charming Delta town of Cleveland, Mississippi is just over 100 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee. A city of 12,000 named after President Grover Cleveland, the town began formation in 1869 as people moved inland from the Mississippi River. Join us as we explore the adventures we had in Cleveland, Mississippi.

We stayed at The Cotton House - Located in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, Cotton House sits in historic Cleveland, just down the road from the Mississippi Blues Trail, at the doorstep of The GRAMMY Museum® Mississippi. Located in the lobby, James Beard Award nominated Chef Cole Ellis brings Delta Meat Market to the Cotton House Hotel: both a premium grocer of specialty meat, cheese and artisan goods; and a casual, full-service restaurant serving internationally influenced dishes deeply rooted in the Southern culinary traditions of the Mississippi Delta.   Previous Episodes mentioned:
