“This book has been a welcome return to my love of food and community. It has been a thrill to collaborate with outstanding musicians on something we can all appreciate, great food!” says Mark Shusterman of The Night Sweats who was the cookbook’s taste tester and recipe editor.
Meet Me At The Table features original recipes from Rateliff, Shusterman, Adia Victoria, AJ Haynes (Seratones), Amythyst Kiah, Andreas Wild (The Night Sweats), Ben Jaffe (Preservation Hall Jazz Band), Big Freedia, Courtney Marie Andrews, Daniel Hardaway (The Night Sweats), Eric Slick (Dr. Dog), Fantastic Negrito, Gabriela Quintero, Grace Potter, Jack Johnson, Jeff Dazey (The Night Sweats), John Prine, Jon Batiste, Joseph Pope III (The Night Sweats), Kam Franklin (The Suffers), Lido Pimienta, Lucius, Luke Mossman (The Night Sweats), Matthew Vasquez (Delta Spirit), Nicole Atkins, Nikki Lane, Patrick Meese (The Night Sweats), Ruby Amanfu, Ryan Bingham, Tanya Trotter (The War and Treaty), Tarriona “Tank” Ball (Tank and The Bangas), Valerie June and Wes Schultz (The Lumineers).
The cookbook’s goal is to acknowledge the history of food in America and shine a spotlight on the incredible work being done all across the country that values all people and the planet. Through centering the voices of activists, Rateliff’s foundation aims to spotlight issues of inequality and oppression as they exist in our food system. Proceeds from the cookbook will be split evenly among organizations profiled in the book, which include Agricultural Justice Project, Federation of Southern Cooperatives, Food Chain Workers’ Alliance, North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems, Rural Advancement Foundation International, Soul Fire Farm, The GrowHaus, United Farm Workers and more.
Rateliff established The Marigold Project in 2017. In 2018, The Marigold Project hosted a day of workshops focused on gun violence prevention and in 2019 the foundation hosted a summit in Denver concentrated on community and coalition building. Attendees learned from activists and advocates across the country with decades of experience in community building for positive and lasting change. In addition, the foundation launched The Marigold Singles series to raise money for community and nonprofit organizations. Rateliff’s latest installment of the series, “Willie’s Birthday Song,” was released as a birthday tribute to Willie Nelson featuring Bobbie Nelson, Mickey Raphael, Lukas and Micah Nelson, Nikki Lane, Courtney Marie Andrews, members of The Night Sweats and more. Future releases of The Marigold Singles will feature notable musicians and collaborators and the beneficiaries will be chosen by the artists’ common beliefs and the subject matter of the songs.
The foundation grants to organizations working on income inequality, voter registration, food access, gun violence prevention and indigenous rights, among other issues. Grant recipients include Mauna Kea/Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, Missouri Rural Crisis Center, Southerners on New Ground, and many more.
