2004 James Beard Award Nominee for Cooking of the Americas!

2004 IACP Award Nominee for American Category!

On May 5th, 2003 Edna Lewis was inducted into the KitchenAid Cookbook Hall of Fame for her lifetime of achievements in the culinary industry.

Edna Lewis--whose The Taste of Country Cooking has become an American classic--and Alabama-born chef Scott Peacock join forces in this remarkable collections of 225 recipes and reflections on Southern food. What makes this book unique is that it represents the blending of different styles of Southern cooking--Miss Lewis's Virginia country cooking and Scott's Alabama foods liberally seasoned with Native American, Caribbean, and African influences, as well as neglected traditional recipes that the two cooks, in their years of research together, unearthed and made their own.

And interwoven throughout the book are wonderful stories about the people and the traditions that shaped these pure-tasting, genuinely American recipes. A joyful coming together of two extraordinary cooks, sharing their gifts.
