About this product

Product Information

The first volume in what will be an annual collection, Cornbread Nation gathers the best of recent Southern food writing. In fifty entries--original features and selections previously published in magazines and journals--contributors celebrate the people, places, traditions, and tastes of the American South. In these pages, Nikki Giovanni expresses her admiration for the legendary Edna Lewis, James Villas remembers his friend Craig Claiborne, Rick Bragg thinks back on Thanksgivings at home, Robert Morgan describes the rituals of canning time, and Fred Chappell offers a contrarian's view of iced tea. "Collectively," writes John Egerton, these pieces "buttress our conviction that nothing else the South has to offer to the nation and the world--with the possible exception of its music--is more eternally satisfying, heartwarming, reconciling, and memorable than its food." With the publication of Cornbread Nation , we acknowledge with gratitude the abiding centrality of food in the ongoing life of the South.Contributors include: Colman Andrews Jim AuchmuteyRoy Blount Jr. Gene BourgRick Bragg Fred Chappell Lolis Eric Elie Damon Lee FowlerNikki Giovanni Jessica Harris Karen Hess Jack HittTed & Matthew LeeRonni Lundy Robert Morgan James VillasRobb Walsh

Southern food is legendary stuff, but Southern food writing may be even better, at least as exampled in these pages. (John Thorne, author ofSerious PigandPot on the Fire), Southern food is legendary stuff, but Southern food writing may be even better, at least as exampled in these pages. (John Thorne, author of Serious Pig and Pot on the Fire ), Almost as good as months of roaming back roads and long talks over kitchen tables all over the South. Maybe it's better.(Lynne Rossetto Kasper, host of public radio'sThe Splendid Table), Truly, there's just something about the South, its breezy characters, its off-the-edge eateries, and yes, its barbecue and batter bread.
