AA: My editor was interested in a Juneteenth cookbook for kids, and while I’m a good eater, we needed someone with amazing recipes, and Taffy’s recipes were delicious and very accessible. We also wanted to feature other elements beyond food: you can’t have a good cookout without a good soundtrack, so I created a playlist for the cookout.
