Originally from Seattle, shopper success specialist Rachael has brought her family’s legacy recipe down with her to Birmingham. Soaked in bourbon, the sweet potato pie is a tribute to her family distillery in Ireland and her mom who moved to the states when she was only 10 years old. With a kick of bourbon adding a smooth, oaky finish, this dish reminds Rachael of her family’s roots and is the reason why they all gather around each year.
