The Share Your Foodways team was thrilled to partner with the New Jersey Folk Festival in 2023 for special episodes on storyteller and culinary researcher (and chef!) Michelle Washington Wilson. Wilson, who hails from Atlantic City, grew up in a community and extended family deeply connected to foodways and the agricultural traditions in South Jersey. Her videos are featured through the NJ Folk Festival YouTube page; you can hear her family stories, watch her make a simple “After School Special” Mac & Cheese, a rich Seafood Mac & Cheese, and a “Jersey Fresh” Fruit Cocktail on the NJ Folk Festival YouTube page—or watch the full video!
