A Couple Cooks

"You have to see things not as they are, but as they could be. That's what an artist does. And that's what I am at heart." That’s Majora Carter, real estate developer and urban revitalization strategist who’s won a long list of accolades for her work, including the coveted MacArthur Genius fellowship. Her 2016 TED talk was one of the first 6 on that groundbreaking website. Majora joins us to talk about beautifying our neighborhoods, the value of coffee shops and groceries, and how to create “demand” for real good food. She shares about the Boogie Down Grind Cafe, a coffee shop she helped to start serving high quality coffee (and veggies) in the South Bronx, and the value of taking risks to try new things.   Majora Carter Website | Instagram   Boogie Down Grind Cafe | Coffee lovers gift available on Instagram   Roasted Brussels sprouts with goat cheese & harissa | A Couple Cooks   Preorder A Couple Cooks cookbook >> Pretty Simple Cooking   A Couple Cooks on Instagram and Twitter
