YouTube Milestone for Mi’kmaq Mama

Mi’kmaq Mama, owned by Cheyenne Joseph and located in New Brunswick, celebrated a milestone this weekend with one of her cooking videos on YouTube reaching over a million views. Her Homemade White Bread (from scratch, no machine) video seems to have sparked a wide interest in first-time bakers.

Originally Joseph’s videos began as a way to promote simple, healthy food using staple pantry ingredients. She uses videos and step-by-step photos/written receipts to promote nutrition and share cooking skills in her capacity as a community health nurse. Since 2010, Mi’kmaq Mama’s web presence has grown to encompass many simple home cooking techniques to expand her viewers’ kitchen skills. Our favourite recipe is for Mi’kmaq Luskinikn, a simple bannock made in the east coast!

About Laura Weatherbie

Laura is responsible for the ‘serious’ stuff that goes into publishing, like the money, printing, distribution, policies, YAWN…. Coincidentally, she’s also responsible for any random margin scribbles, scowls, and general gruffness around the Salty environs. Underneath it all though, she’s an affable character with a dry wit, a few West Coast Swing skills, and a cool grey convertible.
