In Pursuit of Flavor: The Beloved Classic Cookbook from the Acclaimed Author of the Taste of Country Cooking by Edna Lewis

4.0

I love a good cookbook! And this right here, is a good cookbook! 

I don't know a lot of traditional southern dishes, I know a few but not a lot and unfortunately not passed down family recipes. So when I saw this at the library my curiosity was peaked! 

Now, I'm vegan so there are a lot of recipes in here that I will never cook, but there are still some I am excited to try out! While reading some grits recipes I realized it has been over 10 years since I've had grits lol. So I picked some up and happily made some to enjoy. 

I really liked how she talked about going to local farmers markets for veggies and how they taste better and you can learn about other varieties as well. There was also a small part, about a page, where she discussed using the refrigerator too much. This made me intrigued because this is something my grandmother has told me before. It's an interesting discussion to have.
