Edna Lewis: At The Table with an American Original
Lewis cooked and wrote as a means to explore her memories of childhood on a farm in Freetown, Virginia, a community first founded by black families freed from slavery.
Her reputation as a trailblazer in the revival of regional cooking and as a progenitor of the farm-to-table movement continues to grow.
Sara Franklin, the book’s editor, discusses Lewis’s impact and how she brought together so many different perspectives on Lewis’s life and work.
Franklin is a writer and food studies scholar teaching at New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study.
She has a PhD in food studies from NYU.
This talk will also feature a small tasting by James Beard-award winning chef Barry Maiden, who counts Edna Lewis among one of his culinary inspirations.
