Chef Taffy previously developed recipes for other cookbooks but this is her first work for children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hadn&#8217;t thought about working on a cookbook for kids until the opportunity presented itself. Once the idea was presented, I absolutely loved it,\u201d she said. \u201cThe idea of teaching kids to cook delicious food while helping them and their grown-ups celebrate such a meaningful holiday was really inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The recipes that Chef Taffy developed for \u201cThe Juneteenth Cookbook\u201d were inspired by African American celebration dishes, favorite family recipes, and foods that are accessible and fun for kids. One of her favorite recipes in the cookbook is the strawberry mint baby kale salad with blackberry balsamic dressing (pictured), which Culinary Arts students served in the CDEOC\u2019s on-site cafeteria during Black History Month. She also loves the red velvet ice cream sandwich recipe.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to recipes, the cookbook includes a history of Juneteenth, fun family activities, and a holiday cookout playlist.
