Cherry Pie is thrilled to announce that we have been selected as a finalist for Asuria's prestigious Employer Awards in the Small Business Start-Up award category.
"Asuria's Employer Awards recognises employer partners for their exceptional best practices, commitment, and innovation in attracting, engaging, and retaining a diverse workforce. It's an honour to be recognised for our efforts, and we're eagerly looking forward to the Awards ceremony in early March to see the outcome. We extend our thanks to Asuria for their dedication in supporting our efforts to redefine recruitment practices."

A special thanks goes to Tarius' business mentor, Pauline who helped her with some great strategies to grow the business from our small 1 market, renting in a church kitchen in 2021 to over 6 events and this year moving into a large bricks and mortar bakehouse / diner.

Pie Day is coming up! (Not to be confused with National Pi Day 14 March)

What is it you ask? Well according to the American Pie Council (www.piecouncil.org) there are at least 20 ways to celebrate this national food day. A couple of our favourites are to bring a pie into work to share with coworkers or celebrate with family for a special dessert treat (order and pick one up from our Docklands District Bake to Order kitchen on 23 January).

Cherry Pie discovers some pioneering African-American food stars. Part 3 Malinda Russell

If you're interested in a history of African-American cooking and foodways, a good place to start is the first published cookbook by African-American cook Malinda Russell. This book and author holds a special place in my heart as she hails from my home state, Michigan.

According to malindarussell.com Ms Russell was born in Tennessee and later moved to Paw Paw, Michigan where in 1866 she self published her cookbook, Domestic Cook Book: A careful collection of use receipts. This book begins, "RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE KITCHEN. The Kitchen should always be Neat and Clean. The Tables, Pastry Boards, Pans, and everything pertaining to Cookery, should be well Cleansed." Advice still very useful today. There is only one surviving copy of this cookbook housed at the University of Michigan.

This recipe book contains over 250 recipes and https://malindarussell.com/ offers all the recipes (via a free downloadable PDF) in hopes people will kitchen test them and post their results.. This is definitely something on my "to do" list, particularly the pound cake recipe which may feature in our menu in 2025. Apparently her cookbook is heavy on the dessert recipes because at one point in her varied life she ran a pastry shop in Tennessee.

Her story is included in the African Heritage Cookbook, which chronicles Soul Food cooking by food journalist Tony Tipton-Martin. You can also find a great podcast featuring her life at Savor Podcast here: https://shorturl.at/JZi8S

Have a great time going down this rabbit hole.

Cherry Pie discovers some pioneering African-American food stars.
Part 2 Leah Chase

When I finally get to live out my "Visit New Orleans" bucket list item, the first culinary stop will be the famous Dooky Chase's Restaurant in the Treme-Lafitte neighbourhood. According to the New Orleans tourist website (neworleans.com) this “Queen of Creole Cuisine, Chef Chase became the inspiration for Princess Tiana in Disney’s animated 2009 classic The Princess and the Frog" Reading about her culinary career makes me want to watch this Disney show again.

This painting hangs at the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum and her red chef's jacket is part of the collection at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture; she truly earned the title of Queen of Creole Cuisine (more info here: https://shorturl.at/4BbDL).

Reading her story, I learned about her passion for cooking creole food and uplifting African-American foodways into a fine dining, James Beard award winning, restaurant experience. This decades-old establishment has been host to black office workers during the Jim Crow era, a meeting spot for civil rights leaders like MLK, the "go to" place for actors such as Sidney Poitier, celebrities including Lena Horne and US presidents such as President Barack Obama.

Scanning the current menu, I've already made my first order. I'll have to start with Crabcake over Fried Green Tomato, followed by Creole Gumbo (of course!), for my main dish Crawfish Etouffee - and dessert Peach Cobbler!

Hope this post hasn't made you too hungry, but it's definitely made me want to invent a wormhole device that goes from my kitchen to the front door of this New Orleans gem - so I can work my way through the whole menu.

Leah Chase passed away in 2019 aged 96 and you can find some great YouTube videos of her including a Louisiana Public Broadcasting documentary here: https://shorturl.at/GEpmY.

There is also a short article with a 2-minute video at NPR All Things Considered here: https://tinyurl.com/25w26huh.

“We changed the world over a bowl of gumbo” is how Chef Leah Chase (1923–2019) recalled the strategy sessions led by Civil Rights leaders at Dooky Chase’s restaurant. Chase's sense of drive compelled her to eschew the factory jobs left to Creole girls for restaurant work in New Orleans’s F...
