Norma Darden (left) co-owner of the Harlem eateries Spoonbread Too: Miss Mamie's and Miss Maude's, recipe link belowI was in Harlem yesterday shooting an episode of a NYC Media series called Appetite City hosted by former New York Times food critique William Grimes. We shot the episode at Miss Maude's Spoonbread Too located at547 Lenox Ave in Harlem. The series will air this coming August of on NYC Media’s cable station. Ms. Norma Garden, a former fashion model, owns the restaurant and she was there and graciously signed a copy of her book and served up some great cake. Her sister Carole Darden is the chief baker of the restaurants. As part of my Culinary Celebration of Women’s History Month Series I offer the following prerecorded interview with Ms. Darden and Vertmae Grosvenor on NPR’s Talk of the Nation. The link to the show includes some fine recipes too.
