Bmore Chicken and Slippery Dumplings By Maya Marie S. (Land Food Freedom Journal Vol II Issue II, Winter 2026) "Bmore chicken and slippery dumplings is a dish that guides me through these literal and figurative seasonal shifts—and I wouldn’t be the first. For many Baltimoreans with Southern roots, it’s a dish that has a legacy of being able to stretch chicken across multiple meals during hard times. In other words, it’s a dish that fortifies you with whatever resources you have on hand. Although decadent versions of the dish exist, chicken and slippery dumplings at its core is a working-class dish. A meal that, arguably, has been preserved largely thanks to Black women cooks." - Maya M. S.

Our Recipes, Our Roots - A Q&A with Maya Marie S., the founder of Deep Routes and Seeds and Receipts (Land Food Freedom Journal Vol II Issue I, Fall 2025) "Across the Black diaspora, culinary traditions are often passed down orally or through tactile experience, so you have to be in the room to really learn. This can get a little challenging when the matriarch typically holds much of the cooking knowledge, and if interest in that knowledge skips a generation or the matriarch is protective of it, that wisdom can get lost over time. In my journey to better understand my identity, my history, and the people who came before me, I’ve become more intentional about finding and collecting those culinary traditions, along with the stories and cultural importance behind them. So, since 2018, I’ve been cultivating a practice of archiving, remembering, and recreating family recipes or meals." - Maya M. S.
