It is January, named for Janus, after all, the god of doorways, most commonly depicted as having two faces, one in the direction of the past, the other toward the future. And there we are, standing in the present: one foot planted in history, the other outward, forward, advancing toward what will become. We know a water’s parting by its wake. 

I grew up on southern food. My deep love for sweet tea and collard greens will expose any culinary misgivings about where my true heart lies. So January Supper Club will be an exploration of foods of the African diaspora and its indelible influence on southern food, with some uniquely TXA TXA twists and turns. A dive into the roots of this rich, culinary heritage of casseroles, stews, and slow cooking, and to its source, for which southern food is greatly  indebted. You can expect some fresh takes on both southern and African traditional dishes, like deviled crab with ras el hanout and persimmon kosho; chicken yassa lacquered in a deep, onion caramel; or rich and peanut buttery sweet potato maafé.
