Interspersed throughout are personal anecdotes, cooking insights, notes on important Southern ingredients, and personally developed techniques for maximizing flavor.\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n Across six charmingly illustrated chapters—From the Gardens and Orchards; From the Farmyard; From the Lakes, Steams, and Oceans; For the Cupboard; From the Bread Oven and Griddle; and The Taste of Old-fashioned Desserts—encompassing almost 200 recipes, Miss Lewis captures the spirit of the South. From Whipped Cornmeal with Okra; Pan-Braised Spareribs; and Benne Seed Biscuits to Thirteen-Bean Soup; Pumpkin with Sautéed Onions and Herbs; a Salad of Whole Tomatoes Garnished with Green Beans and Scallions; and Raspberry Pie Garnished with Whipped Cream,\u003cbr\u003e\nIn Pursuit of Flavor is a modern classic and a timeless compendium of Southern cooking at its very best.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\n“Lewis’s food is both subtle and elegant, made with the confidence and grace that arose from over a half-century in the kitchen. . . . Even 30 years later, Edna Lewis . . . teaches us that ‘good food simply and lovingly prepared’ will never go out of style, while reminding us that the passionate pursuit of flavor can make for one hell of a life.” —\u003cbr\u003e\nThe New York Times Book Review\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“\u003cbr\u003e\nIn Pursuit of Flavor was my introduction to Ms. Lewis and the first African American cookbook I ever owned. It continues to fire a passion for ingredients and the joy of the journey of putting together a meal like no other work. This is culinary elegance to dance by.” —Michael W. Twitty, author of\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"As a young child obsessed with cookbooks, reading Miss Edna Lewis's work felt like finding my way home for the first time. As an adult who makes cookbooks, her work continues to be my north star.

A gentle book. A book that belongs on your kitchen shelf. From whipped cornmeal with okra, to red rice that recalls a Jolof dish, to rabbit fried in butter perfumed with country ham, this revived classic reminds us of Edna Lewis’s genius.” —John T. Edge, author\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Potlikker Papers: A Food History of the Modern South\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“With \u003cbr\u003e\nIn Pursuit of Flavor, Miss Lewis showcases her expertise and techniques by taking us on a journey through her childhood. She brings to life the entire farmland as it was seen by someone who lived off the land. She picks fruits and vegetables and shows us how to prepare them for the cupboard. She shows us how to preserve the bounty of the season for later. She takes us to the river and creeks to teach us about the local catches.” —Mashama Bailey (from the Foreword)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"I have seen no better representation of open-mindedness and the all-embracing impulse than in Edna Lewis’s cookboo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525655510\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.3 x 7.2 x 1.1 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50234505134384,"sku":"Trans_9780525655510","price":2438.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81yRLpRD7dL.jpg?v=1761037109","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/in-pursuit-of-flavor-the-beloved-classic-cookbook-from-the-acclaimed-author-of-the-taste-of-country-cooking","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
