McCormick's "Soul-Cuterie" Boards Mark Black History Month

— February 16, 2022 — Lifestyle
In partnership with award-winning chef, taste-maker, soul food and southern cooking expert Millie Peartree, McCormick is celebrating Black History Month by transforming charcuterie boards into "Soul-Cuterie" boards. These boards celebrate soul food recipes and they feature recipes like Peartree's deviled eggs with southern fried chicken skin. Another essential Soul-Cuterie selection are the catfish nuggets, prepared with Zatarain's Crispy Southern Fish Fri and Creole Mustard and Old Bay Seasoning.

With the introduction of these Soul-Cuterie boards, families will get to reimagine how they share their favorite soul food dishes for a variety of group gatherings.

To kick-start this partnership, McCormick donated to the chef's Full Heart, Full Bellies initiative, which supports the food insecure in her current hometown of the Bronx.
