“I’m proud to share my family’s African-American soul food recipes representing our beautiful people and a legacy of what we eat.”
– Shaunda Necole
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, five cookbooks, and two seasoning guides. I’ve also codified Black Folks Sweet Potato Pie™ my 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 2024, 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.
