"Root to Leaf: A Southern Chef Cooks Through the Seasons" by Steven Satterfield

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Has anyone else been reading this?  I just finished the first time through and was impressed by the quality of the book, although many of the recipes might be a bit too southern for my taste.  One recipe that I hope to try is green goddess dressing, p 36.

 

The photography is beautiful, and I appreciated the section on okra as I have five okra plants growing on my balcony, which passes for my garden.

 

I have deep respect for Satterfield and any author who is not too lazy to write out v-e-g-e-t-a-b-l-e-s.

As soon as I saw the Amazon review my mind kept bleating "Edna B Lewis" - and after the least bit of googling of course the author worked under Scott Peacock. Small world, great food writing. I hope to hear from those who have the book.
