Show Notes

Food writer, award-winning pastry chef, and baker Justin Burke will be the final entry to this year’s CulinaryArts@SPAC series, introducing his first-ever cookbook, ‘Potluck Desserts: Joyful Recipes to Share with Pride, 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 4.

“This cookbook is really trying to break the mold of what we perceive as what a cookbook should be,” Burke said during a phone interview last week. “We're seeing that more with the newer cookbooks that are coming out, that the storytelling of food is being included in cookbooks.”

This was planned as an interview for a Sunday Life and Arts story, but Justin Burke was so forthcoming with his thoughts, his stories about his past, baking, and even touching on food insecurity in South Carolina and what he is doing to make a difference.

There was too much for my allotted print space.

Justin Burke was kind enough to let me post our conversation on Tell Me Your Story.

Enjoy.
