Edna Lewis (1916–2006) wrote some of America's most resonant, lyrical, and significant cookbooks, including the now-classic The Taste of Country Cooking.

Lewis cooked and wrote as a means to explore her memories of childhood on a farm in Freetown, Virginia, a community first founded by black families freed from slavery.

Her reputation as a trailblazer in the revival of regional cooking and as a progenitor of the farm-to-table movement continues to grow.

Sara Franklin, the book’s editor, discusses Lewis’s impact and how she brought together so many different perspectives on Lewis’s life and work.

Franklin is a writer and food studies scholar teaching at New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study.

She has a PhD in food studies from NYU.

This talk will also feature a small tasting by James Beard-award winning chef Barry Maiden, who counts Edna Lewis among one of his culinary inspirations.
