Description
Edna Lewis's beloved cookbook celebrates seasonal food as distinctly American cuisine. This James Beard Foundation Cookbook Hall of Fame-inducted collection shares recipes from her childhood, spent in a Virginia farming community, alongside those that made her one of the most revered American chefs. Personal anecdotes and cooking insights are interspersed with notes on important Southern ingredients and techniques for maximizing flavor. Across six chapters, encompassing almost 200 recipes, Miss Lewis captures the spirit of the South through dishes like Whipped Cornmeal with Okra, Pan-Braised Spareribs, and Raspberry Pie Garnished with Whipped Cream.
