Cuisine of the Southern United States from Wikipedia. I'd never heard of Edna Lewis, thanks for the post.

That's a shame...she sure could cook. On the plus side, she was proof that a life of biscuits, gravy and pork, couldn't hurt ya too much. Bless her heart. They're serving grits in heaven tonight.

A nice little documentary about her and Scott Peacock played at the Atlanta Film Festival last year. One of the FPP links mentioned the cookbook that she and Scott were working on ... it's done and you can buy it at Watershed in Decatur in addition to the usual places. One of the more interesting periods in her life covered in the documentary short was her exodus to New York City where she became the adored chef for post-WW2 artists, writers, scholars and performers, cooking simple but elegant meals based on her family's Southern recipes.
