Scott, who recently died after a long battle with ovarian cancer, was the first Black woman to join the acclaimed PBS cooking show (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2sbI5EHlCUQ). “At America’s Test Kitchen, Elle helped open doors that had long been closed—becoming one of the first Black women audiences saw in the test kitchen, and doing so with grace, authority, and joy,” fellow chef and friend Carla Hall wrote on Instagram. “She didn’t just test recipes; she changed what representation looked like in food media.”
