Today, Americans observe Juneteenth with festivals, family and of course, food. So we invited influencer Kiva Williams, a.k.a. the Fun Foodie Mama, to share some of her favorite Juneteenth culinary traditions.

Listen to the episodeOrange juice is Florida’s official beverage. But you probably didn’t need us to tell you that.

Listen to the episodeYou know we love a good food-and-art crossover around here. (You may recall our conversation with Malaika Hollist of Arts Axis Florida.)So when we heard that Miami-based multidisciplinary artist Chris Friday had a food-related exhibition at the Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling College of Art and Design, we wanted to learn more.

We eat with our eyes first, so what could be more inviting than adorning your food with edible flowers? You don't need to be a master gardener, food stylist or duchess to get in on this Instagrammable trend. To avoid ingesting toxins, it’s best to grow your own flowers or buy grocery store flowers that are labeled as food-grade. If you’re growing your own, avoid pesticides on or near the plants.

Listen to the episodeIt’s one thing to cook food. But talking about food on the radio takes a lot more than knife skills. And Francis Lam does it so well. Lam is a food writer, cookbook editor and host of the popular public radio program The Splendid Table. On June 1, he’ll be at the New Tampa Performing Arts Center for a sold-out live taping of the show. Ahead of his visit to Florida, Francis chatted with Dalia Colón from his hometown of New York City, where he lives and works.
