My blog reading has been a bit slow over the last week…but even still, I found a book to add to my wish list.
The Taste of Country Cooking, by Edna Lewis. I found out about this book after reading a review of Laurie Colwin’s wonderful More Home Cooking over at Letters from Hill Farm. I adore Colwin’s cookbooks and novels and so I subscribed to comments on Nan’s post. Janice from My Reading Diary suggested the Lewis cookbook. It looks wonderful. The product description at Amazon reads (in part): ‘The scores of recipes for these marvelous dishes are set down in loving detail. We come to understand the values that formed the remarkable woman—her love of nature, the pleasure of living with the seasons, the sense of community, the satisfactory feeling that hard work was always rewarded by her mother’s good food.‘ Edna Lewis died in 2006 at the age of 89.
