Bethena Eggleston

Beth was born and raised in Tuskegee, Al. This greatly influenced her love of food. One of the first things she learned in the kitchen, cooking with her elders, was the importance of seasoning. In her house, nothing was created without a unique blend of salt, herbs, and spices that would have you coming back for seconds and thirds. Growing up in the deep south (the pure country), she realized the right seasonings could make even the most unique dish and the most economical cut of meat delectable. The first meal she ever cooked solo was turkey wings, collard greens, cornbread dressing, candied yams, macaroni, and cheese at age 13. She has not looked back since.

Since 1993, one of her biggest joys has been making traditional soul food meals and trying new recipes for her loved ones. There is nothing quite like sitting around the kitchen table passing bowls of fried corn, field peas, cornbread, and buttermilk fried chicken with your nearest and dearest friends. With Two Spicy Mamas', Beth hopes to extend this 'kitchen table joy' to the world. In her free time, Beth loves to travel (both domestically and internationally) with her husband, friends, and family, shop, bake, and listen to trap music.
