BLACK HISTORY MONTH:

Lena Richard- (1892-1950)

Lena Richard defied the odds stacked against her as a Black woman in the Jim Crow South to become one of America’s first celebrity chefs and the first African American to host her own TV cooking show, 14 years before Julia Child made her debut.

Known nationally as the best Creole chef in New Orleans, Richard ran a catering company, an international frozen food company, and a series of restaurants where whites and Blacks bucked segregation laws to eat her famous gumbo under one roof. She also opened a cooking school to help members of the local Black community command higher wages in the culinary industry.

Lena Richard’s New Orleans Cook Book, which she self-published in 1939, was the first Creole cookbook written by a Black author. Her goal was to make dishes like crawfish bisque and her popular watermelon ice cream (a realistic-looking watermelon made completely out of ice cream and sherbet) accessible to the ordinary homemaker. The cookbook became so popular that Houghton Mifflin republished it internationally the next year.

In 1949, Richard starred in her own half-hour cooking show, which aired twice a week on the local station. It was a huge hit. “Richard was beloved by both the Black and white communities in New Orleans,” says Smithsonian food historian Ashley Rose Young.
