“I AM a journalist first and foremost,” said Toni Tipton-Martin.
The editor in chief of Cook’s Country magazine, Tipton-Martin is also a leading authority on African American foodways and the author of award-winning books on the topic.
Her latest, “Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs, and Juice: Cocktails from Two Centuries of African American Cookbooks” (Nov. 14, Clarkson Potter) focuses on the potable, bringing to light a fascinating history in recipes from Black bartenders and cooks.
“My plan is to publish a series of single-subject books that highlights the various work of cooks in the African American community,” Tipton-Martin said.
In the lead-up to the hectic holiday-entertaining season, she made time to welcome us into her Baltimore home for a Claret Cup cocktail and a chat at the bar.
