Clarksdale Cooks

05/05/2026

I've been cooking at J's Grocery since their first pop-up farmers market nearly 4 years ago, then at the ground-breaking, and finally at last year's grand re-opening! And now one year later I will cook again to celebrate the fresh accessible produce at J's Grocery.

Join me for the fun cooking demonstrations and try some tasty fresh local food! See you there on Friday May 8, noon-3PM at 1001 Ritchie Ave.

Can you believe it's been one year since J’s Grocery Reopening? To celebrate a full year of fresh, accessible produce, Chef Julie Diaz will be hosting free taste testing this Friday, May 8, 2026 from 12pm-3pm.

Come by and experience creative ways to enjoy the fresh produce found at J’s Grocery at 1001 Ritchie Ave, Clarksdale, MS 🍋

I did an interview last weekend for a radio show called All Things Vegan. Hope you can listen to it.

All Things Vegan explores a variety of issues relating to food, animal, and environmental concerns in Bend, Oregon, and around the world through the eyes of their guests, as they interview doctors, scientists, authors, psychologists, athletes, professors, chefs, musicians and more.
