"Our South" features more than 125 recipes inspired by personal journeys and Black foodways traversing through the Southeast from coastal Virginia to North Carolina's Appalachians to the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Shanti, a 2020 Rising Star Chef of the Year semifinalist and Season 19 "Top Chef" contestant, was also a semifinalist for Best Chef: Southeast this year.

Meet IndyStar local news editor Shari Rudavsky
It takes a staff of dedicated journalists to bring you the news from around Central Indiana. In this feature, the Indianapolis Star introduces readers to our newsroom staff — or, rather, we let them introduce themselves. Up this week is Shari Rudavsky. Local news editor for entertainment and business 2004 Meeting strangers who tell me that IndyStar has had an effect of any sort on their lives. That impact may range from trying a certain restaurant, changing their outlook on an issue or leading them to take action, all based on something they read either in our physical paper or online. I staunchly believe that the role of journalists consists of informing our community about the issues that matter in our lives and bring us together. Read, walk, do the New York Times Wordle, Spelling Bee and crossword puzzles. "Naked Eye" by Luscious Jackson. Yep, you've probably never heard it. "Be yourself" — the last words my father said to me with the wish I pass them on to my son, his only grandchild. Can I just take over for Terri Gross, queen of the NPR show "Fresh Air," when she retires? My first job out of college was at Penthouse magazine. Seriously, I worked for Omni magazine, a now-defunct science magazine, as an editorial assistant, and Omni was published by Penthouse. Every morning I walked by a huge photo on the wall of Bob Guccione with a topless "pet" on his lap. Not a Tweet and not the meanest (because I did write about abortion for several years so had unspeakably mean comments hurled in my direction), but years ago an IndyStar reader wrote to tell me that I needed to do something about my eyebrows. I earned my first money pairing socks for the family laundry at the generous salary of "a penny a pair." Since my family only had three people in it, my first full dollar was earned babysitting.
