Chef Toni Tipton-Martin judges a chili recipe prepared for the Second Annual U. S. Department of Agriculture Chili Challenge Contest to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at USDA in Washington, DC, on Thursday, October 6, 2011.

Toni Tipton-Martin is an African-American food and nutrition journalist and author of several cookbooks, including Jubilee. She serves as the editor-in-chief for Cook's Country.[1]

Biography

Tipton-Martin previously worked as a reporter for the Los Angeles Times in the 1980s[1] and then moved to the Cleveland Plain Dealer in 1991 as the first Black person to serve as editor of a food section for a large U.S. newspaper.[2] She was named as the editor in chief for Cook's Country in 2020, replacing former editor Tucker Shaw. Her role as editor-in-chief was seen as significant because she was among a group of several other Black women at the same time who were named to top roles for various magazines.[1][2]

Tipton-Martin moved to Baltimore in 2018 with her husband.[3] She is the mother of four.[4]

Tipton-Martin appeared in the Netflix docuseries High_on_the_Hog:_How_African_American_Cuisine_Transformed_America.

Books

She has written several books, including The Jemima Code: Two Centuries of African American Cookbooks (University of Texas Press, 2015)[5] and Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African-American Cooking (Clarkson Potter, 2019). She self-published The Jemima Code after presenting it to an agent who then disappeared.[3] Both books focus on the cooking of African Americans, and as part of the work involved in writing them, Tipton-Martin researched various historical cookbooks by Black Americans.[3][6]

In 2005, she published a reprint of an early 20th century cookbook, The Blue Grass Cook Book, by Minnie C. Fox (University Press of Kentucky).[7]

Awards and honors

Tipton-Martin is the winner of two James Beard awards.[8] In 2016, she won the Reference and Scholarship award for The Jemima Code, and Jubilee was awarded Best American Cookbook in 2020.[9]

Tipton-Martin is the recipient of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) Trailblazer Award (2020)[10] and its Book of the Year Award (2020, for Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African-American Cooking).[11]
