Description
#Sponsored The holidays have a way of bringing everybody back to the table, and for Monica and her family, the kitchen is where some of their favorite memories are made.
In this special holiday edition of ESSENCE’s Roots & Recipes, the Grammy-winning singer invites us into the kitchen as her family prepares a holiday staple and shares the stories and traditions behind it.
From the recipes passed down through generations to the moments that make every family gathering memorable, Monica and her loved ones celebrate the connections that keep them grounded in where they come from.
Presented by Coca-Cola®, this episode is a reminder that some of the best family stories are shared over a meal.
