Friends & Fiction with Vivian Howard

Join us as we welcome award-winning cookbook author, TV personality, chef and restaurateur, Vivian Howard. Her first cookbook, DEEP RUN ROOTS, was a New York Times bestseller and was named “Cookbook of the Year” by the International Association of Culinary Professionals. Vivian created and stars in the public television shows Somewhere South and A Chef’s Life, for which she has won Peabody, Emmy and James Beard awards. Vivian runs the restaurants Chef & the Farmer in Kinston, NC; Benny’s Big Time in Wilmington, NC; and Handy & Hot and Lenoir, both in Charleston, SC. In October 2020, Vivian released her second cookbook, THIS WILL MAKE IT TASTE GOOD. She joins us one week out from Thanksgiving to talk about her blockbuster shows, southern food, her storytelling cookbooks and some cooking tips for the upcoming holidays.
