In Pursuit of Flavor

From the â€œJulia Child of Southern Cuisineâ€â€”recently feted on Top Chefâ€”a seasonal cookbook of Southern classics. Through almost 200 delicious recipes, plus notes and special boxes on important ingredients (from black-eyed peas and Virginia hams to Peking ducks and oysters), and personally developed cooking techniques, Lewisâ€”one of the pioneers of Southern cooking and author of The Taste of Country Cookingâ€”shows home cooks how to get the best flavor from the foods they cook. Following the seasons, and drawing on her childhood in Freetown, Virginiaâ€”a farming community founded by her grandfather after emancipationâ€”Lewis recreates some of the simple good dishes she grew up on. Every recipeâ€”from Oyster Stew with Salsify to Damson Plum Pieâ€”is illuminated with her remarkable cooking insights, and the whole bookâ€”with its charming illustrationsâ€”is flavored with the kind of personal warmth that makes it a joy to cook with Edna Lewis at your side.
