Deep South Dining | Southern Foodways

Southern foodways mean different things to different people. Yet the common thread about southern foodways is the people who pass these traditions thru the generations. Edna Lewis will forever be a lasting figure in the world of southern cooking and helped keep these southern foodways alive with cookbooks like The Taste Of Country Cooking. Scott Peacock is one of the young chefs she influenced to believe in the power of southern cooking and joins Deep South Dining to share insights on his time with Edna. In this edition of Deep South Dining Malcolm and Carol talk with Scott about cooking with her and even caring for her during her later years. Also, they hear from Scott Barretta about his recent food adventure with a Grammy Award nominee in Bentionia.
