Summary, Etc. The commemorative 30th-anniversary edition of "The Taste of Country Cooking," a great American classic on Southern food, includes an Introduction from editor Judith Jones about how the book came to be.
Summary, Etc. With the publication of The Taste of Country Cooking in 1976, Edna Lewis proclaimed the food of the American South one of the world's great cuisines. From the field greens and salads of spring; pan-fried chicken and crushed peaches in summer; preserves and sweet potatoes for fall; and hearty soups and stews during the cold winter months, Miss Lewis (as she was almost universally known) extolled the virtues of the good food of her childhood, spent in a Virginia farming community founded by her grandfather and his friends after Emancipation. A celebration of eating locally--decades before "farm to table" became common parlance--the book showcases the joys of cooking with the seasons.
