Edna Lewis quotes:

One of the greatest pleasures of my life has been that I have never stopped learning about Good Cooking and Good Food

The smell of coffee cooking was a reason for growing up, because children were never allowed to have it and nothing haunted the nostrils all the way out to the barn as did the aroma of boiling coffee.

Greens are a dish that most Southerners would walk a mile for.

Over the years since I left home, I have kept thinking about the people I grew up with and about our way of life. I realize how much the bond that held us had to do with food.
