We’re kicking off Sip Back and Read with Sweet Heat by Bolu Babalola, breaking down Kiki’s world of love, ambition, and family legacy, then stepping into the characters’ shoes and sipping and snacking along with a Sweet Heat cocktail and suya burgers inspired by the story.

Welcome to Sip Back & Read! We’re two lifelong friends turning reading into an experience. Each episode, we dive into our latest read and whip up food and drinks inspired by the pages. It’s part book club, part happy hour, and all good company. In this intro, you’ll meet Thembi and Brandi, get the vibe of the channel, and see what kind of conversations we love to have once the last page turns. Expect honest reactions, cozy energy, and a little kitchen fun inspired by whatever we’re reading. What you’ll find here • Book chats and reviews • Cocktails inspired by the story • Recipes inspired by the pages • Reading recs, TBR updates, and bookish life Subscribe so you can Sip Back and Read with us!
