ABOUT ME
Hello there! I'm Jessica Singleton (Fulks) – a fashion designer, creative enthusiast, and home cook based in North Carolina. I'm passionate about sharing creative, uncomplicated, and culturally inspired recipes that reflect my background.
​
"The Chronicles of the Cast Iron Chef" serves as a hub for recipes, an online store, and a platform for small events and private catering. Through this space, I celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures that envelop us. My goal is to encourage more people to embrace cooking at home, fostering healthier lifestyles, stronger family connections, a touch of romance, and most importantly, an appreciation for Black Culture and its amalgamation with diverse Diasporas.
​
Irrespective of race, creed, or religion, we can all agree that food has the power to unite. Crafting meals from scratch with fresh ingredients is among the most nurturing gestures for our loved ones. Sharing meals and spending time together builds bridges of understanding and relationships. I acknowledge that cooking can be a challenge, particularly on busy workdays. Along my journey, I've discovered some handy tips to simplify the process and infuse enjoyment back into the kitchen. And if all else fails, consider recruiting a partner to join you – disguise it as a fun (or romantic) activity. Laughter guaranteed!
​
Remember, cooking needn't be complex, pricey, or time-intensive. Delicious meals can be simple and budget-friendly without sacrificing flavor – provided you master the art of seasoning. So, with the guidance of my ancestors' spirits, I endeavor to infuse these dishes with soul, hearing their whispers, "That's enough, chile."
