Here is what the publisher tells us about this book: Edna Lewis was one of the greatest and most influential chefs in American history. An African-American woman who rose from humble beginnings, she became famous for reviving the almost forgotten world of refined Southern cooking. The Edna Lewis Cookbook , Lewis’s first book, published in 1972, contains over 100 recipes, arranged in menu form and organized according to the season of the year: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Christmas. With its focus mostly although not exclusively on Southern food, it began the revival of true Southern cooking. Lewis went on to publish three more books: The Taste of Country Cooking (1976), In Pursuit of Flavor (1988), and The Gift of Southern Cooking , co-authored with Scott Peacock (2003). Her menus and recipes were featured in a variety of publications, including the New York Times , the New York Times Magazine , the Washington Post , Gourmet , Food Wine , Cook’s , House Garden , and Redbook , among others.
