Biscuits & Jam

On the last episode of Biscuits & Jam this season, Meg and Nellah seek to find out where Ms. Wiggins got her oh-so-famous recipe. With puzzle pieces from her daughter and baby sister, we learn a little about the roots of this popular recipe and get to hear from a beloved Southern Living editor.

In this episode of Biscuits & Jam, Meg and Nellah track down Mrs. Wiggins' baby sister and piece together an image of Wiggy's personality – a woman who was an excellent pianist, an avid entertainer, and a lover of pickles and liverwurst.

In Episode 3, a few pieces of the puzzle are filled in when Editor In Chief Sid Evans sends out a request in his magazine letter for information about Mrs. L. H. Wiggins. To our surprise – we got two very important messages.

Join us for episode 2, where producers Meg Pace and Nellah McGough start to unravel the story behind Mrs. L. H. Wiggins. She never submitted a second recipe, but her one and only – the Hummingbird Cake – is of legend to Southerners today.

Join producers Meg Pace and Nellah McGough as they introduce the Hummingbird Cake, a recipe that first ran in Southern Living back in the 70s, but has turned into the most popular recipe we've ever published. It was first submitted by a Mrs. L. H. Wiggins, a woman who – up until now – has been a complete mystery.
