Food, Music and a Truck



After more than 5 years divorced from the legendary rapper Nas, Kelis has reinvented herself. She stepped away from music to pursue her love of culinary arts. Kelis is a Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School graduate and has her own cooking special called Saucy and Sweet on The Cooking Channel. At the same time she is making rounds to promote her 6th studio album entitled Food


This iTunes project is full of fitting titles such as Jerk Ribs, Cobbler and Biscuits and Gravy. At this year's SXSW the 34-year-old mother has a food truck and performed at the festival as well. On March 13th Kelis rode around the streets of Austin handing out homemade dishes that included jerk ribs, duck confit sliders with a ginger sesame glaze, shredded beef sliders and coleslaw. Fans were encouraged to take food pictures and tag them with #KelisFoodies for social media use, which could lead to potential prizes. Not too much to ask especially since the food was actually free!


Kelis may be known to many for her music and now to some for her food, but I fell in love with her unapologetic mélange style consisting of modern, edgy, and bold. In my younger days she was the inspiration behind a few looks of mine, including the design in my hair below. I’ll forever be a Kelis fan.
