Welcome to The Soul Food Pot®!
“I’m proud to share my family’s African-American soul food recipes representing our beautiful people and a legacy of what we eat.”
Meet Shaunda
I’m Shaunda Necole, podcaster, author, and your go-to recipe creator for modern soul food cuisine!
As the founder of The Soul Food Pot, the #1 Southern soul food site on Google, I take iconic African American recipes and reimagine them via modern kitchen appliances, often shortening the time to prepare beloved traditional dishes.
What makes me an expert on authentic soul food?
Inspired by my upbringing in coastal Virginia, I’ve shared over 250 recipes across my food blog, four cookbooks, and two seasoning guides, including codifying the “Black Folks Sweet Potato Pie,” an adapted family recipe that went viral in 2021.
My heritage dates back to my great-grandmother Florence, a highly esteemed North Carolinian one-woman catering queen.
In honor of my Grandma Florence’s legacy, I run the world’s number-one soul food website today!
My podcast, The Soul Food Pod, is the first-ever podcast dedicated to the history and culture around soul food dishes. My expertise on the origins of red velvet cake is even shared on the dessert’s Wikipedia page!
In 2023, I launched “Soul Food on the Strip” in Las Vegas, the city’s first and only tour focused on the influence of soul food in the vibrant restaurant scene.
What drives my commitment?
Making life easier and more soulful, one recipe at a time!
