And this, which I love for many reasons, not the least of which is that it introduced me to the rich complexity of Southern culture and especially cooking: "Don’t forget that the Southern food you have been crowned the queen of was made into an art largely in the hands of enslaved cooks, some like the ones who prepared food on your ancestor’s Georgia plantation. You, just like me cousin, stand squarely on what late playwright August Wilson called, “the self defining ground of the slave quarter.” There and in the big house kitchen, Africa, Europe and Native America(s) melded and became a fluid genre of world cuisine known as Southern food." afroculinaria/2013/06/25/an-open-letter-to-paula-deen/
