Oh, Jolene! What a wonderfully inspiring post. By the way, the French make the exact same lemon cake (it's sooooo good!) except instead of buttermilk, they use yogurt. All very delicious! Thank you for all you do to educate and inspire! Love, Jamie
I am so gonna have to learn to cook someday. OK, I've tried but I'm capable of BURNING dinner. Teach me, for I am one big ear with legs & arms - AND not much pride in my culinary skills.
Recipes passed down through the generations..... edible art !
Tar Beach is one of the most treasured books in our home. Faith’s art and stories are just exquisite….and also so touching. Thank you for this Jolene❤️
Thank you, Jolene, for this wonderful introduction to Faith Ringgold! I do admit I was not familiar with her until I read this post. I am eager to learn more and check out her books. And the cake...would you call that a "countertop dessert," perhaps with a glass of champagne?! ❤️
The work of Faith Ringgold is just stunning! I can’t believe I’d never heard of this gifted artist. I can’t wait to learn more—and to make that cake. Thanks for another brilliant piece, Jolene!
The joy 🤩 of discovery from reading what delights you, Jolene, is everything! Faith Ringgold is new to me. I love children’s art and books. Have you heard of the children’s author, Patricia and Frederick McKissick? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_McKissack
Hi Jolene, I just discovered your writing and I'm already a fan. Love your point of view and how you link the present and the past in a real and nostalgic way. The story about the 1920s kitchen is very special. I'm going to look for more on the 1960s kitchen! Anne
Every time I open one of your newsletters, it's like embarking on an adventure; I'm always excited to see where we'll end up. And this adventure was a particularly joyful one!

Im so happy to have learned about Faith Ringgold! What an extraordinary creative!
What a great concept for a children's book. And you may have inspired me to use my Bundt pan. Thanks!

Jolene, a gorgeous story about an equally gorgeous woman. Perfectly told!

Absolutely love this piece! I had no idea that Faith Ringgold created a children’s book and it looks so wonderful! 🤩
I am so impressed by the skill in “The Dinner Quilt" - and of course the book, and the wonderful concept of the story.

I've never heard of Faith Ringgold, but if I even lived on the same landmass as Chicago I'd be making plans to visit that exhibition today! Thank you.

Love the cake and the quilting. Ringgold sounds like a special person and author.
