My favorite kid of “mashup” - true stories of personal lives, with descriptions and recipes of the foods they ate. The saga of Ava and Jimmy Jim is touching and astounding. ( ) I loved reading Rick Bragg‘s The Best Cook in the World , just as I did (years ago) his earlier volumes about his family, which started with All Over But the Shoutin'. In this, his momma‘s Southern home-cooking recipes go hand-in-hand with family stories. Many of the recipes are probably better considered as historical merit — poke-weed salad (poisonous if careless in prep) or baked possum or turtle soup, anyone? I was glad to see there‘s a recipe for pecan pie that doesn‘t use Karo (corn syrup). Will try it someday soon and find out if it‘s as good as my Southern grandma‘s was. "Good stuff always has a story". Rick Bragg has written a tribute to his mother and her family via a memoir of the food and cooking that framed their lives. Delightful read, but not a "cookbook" per se. Recipes are included but perhaps lacking specifics that would allow one to get the same results. Ingredients such as buttermilk or flour seem common, but are actually very regional. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:From the beloved, best-selling author of All Over but the Shoutin', a delectable, rollicking food memoir, cookbook, and loving tribute to a region, a vanishing history, a family, and, especially, to his mother. Margaret Bragg does not own a single cookbook. She measures in "dabs" and "smidgens" and "tads" and "you know, hon, just some." She cannot be pinned down on how long to bake corn bread ("about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the mysteries of your oven"). Her notion of farm-to-table is a flatbed truck. But she can tell you the secrets to perfect mashed potatoes, corn pudding, redeye gravy, pinto beans and hambone, stewed cabbage, short ribs, chicken and dressing, biscuits and butter rolls. The irresistible stories in this audiobook are of long memory ?? many of them pre-date the Civil War, handed down skillet by skillet, from one generation of Braggs to the next. In The Best Cook in the World, Rick Bragg finally preserves his heritage by telling the stories that framed his mother's cooking and education, from childhood into old age. Because good food always has a good story, and a recipe, writes Bragg, is a story like anything el Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
