Welcome.
We’re Marrekus and Krysten Wilkes, the husband and wife team behind Cooks with Soul, a food blog where we share our favorite soul food and barbecue recipes.
What we do
We deliver original content with a focus on community, celebration, and education surrounding Black foodways and diversity within African American cuisine.
Alongside our premium content, we'll continue to share one free post each month—a curated roundup of recipes straight from our blog.
Why subscribe?
Your paid subscription not only gets you all of our exclusive content but also helps us fairly compensate our hardworking team, and—let’s be real—keep the fridge stocked so we can keep developing recipes for you!
Here’s what a premium subscription will get you:
Exclusive Recipes: Exclusive recipes shared just for our Substack community, from dishes that inspire us to secret family recipes.
Direct Access: The ability to ask us questions about cooking and recipes. Stuck on a step? We’re here to help!
How much does it cost?
A subscription is only $5 a month (less than a cup of coffee!) or $50 for a whole year.
We are so grateful for your support, and we can’t wait to cook up more deliciousness together.
