Food: Tina Turner's Cornbread

Rich with bacon and sweet with corn, this tasty cornbread recipe has been attributed to superstar Tina Turner. Or so says Robbie Montgomery, one of the Ikettes who backed Tina and husband Ike Turner in the 1960s.


They'd make it in their hotel room after a late night gig.


‘’I'd pour the batter in the hot skillet, cook it for a bit, put a plate on top of it, and then turn it over onto the plate," Montgomery recalled in her memoir. "Then I'd slide that cornbread back into the skillet real gentle so the other side could finish browning up. Once it was done and you tasted a slice, boy, you could die!"
