  • Five Celebrity Chefs Immortalized on Limited Edition Forever Stamps
    Sept. 26, 2014 Chicago Contact: Mark V. Reynolds [email protected] 312-351-5868 National: Mark Saunders 202-268-6524 [email protected] usps.com/news Five Celebrity Chefs Immortalized On Limited Edition Forever Stamps To obtain high-resolution stamp images for media use only, email: [email protected] CHICAGO — The Postal Service cooked up a feast of 20 million Limited Edition Celebrity Chefs Forever stamps today. The sugar-free, fat-free, zero-calorie stamps will be on the menu of the nation’s Post Offices beginning today. The five chefs honored on the stamps — James Beard, Julia Child, Joyce Chen, Edna Lewis and Edward (Felipe) Rojas-Lombardi — revolutionized the nation’s understanding of food. By integrating international ingredients and recipes with American cooking techniques and influence, these chefs introduced new foods and flavors to the American culture. “These chefs invited us to feast on regional and international flavors and were early — and ardent — champions of trends that many foodies now take for granted,” said U.S. Postal Service Entry Mail and Payment Technology Vice President Pritha Mehra in dedicating the stamps. Mehra is the owner of the Mystic Kitchen cooking school where she teaches the art of Indian cooking to students throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. “As they shared their know-how, they encouraged us to undertake our own culinary adventures, and American kitchens have never been the same since. That is why today, we are celebrating not only five celebrity chefs, but also the unique flavors and dishes that — thanks to them — have become American staples,” she added.

  • First Garden the White House Garden and How It Grew by ROBBIN GOURLEY
    First Garden The White House Garden and How It Grew by ROBBIN GOURLEY About the book: urrounding the White House, the official home of the president of the United States in Washington, S D.C., is a very special plot of land. It has a rose garden and a children’s garden, a swimming pool, a basketball court—and a huge grassy area called the South Lawn. Thomas Jefferson planted fruit trees on the lawn. Woodrow Wilson grazed sheep there. And over the years, the children and grandchildren of presidents have used it as their playground. Now there’s an exciting new addition: a kitchen garden full of delicious fruits and vegetables, initiated by First Lady Michelle Obama and planted with the help of students from a local elementary school. In this beautifully illustrated book, White House history combines with the story of today’s First Garden for a celebration of home and community gardening, cooking with local produce—and hands-on enjoyment of every step and every bite. About the author/illustrator: Robbin Gourley spent childhood summers on her grandmother’s North Carolina farm, an experience that gave her a lifelong appreciation for growing, preparing, and eating delicious food from the garden. She is the author of two cookbooks, as well as an artist and art director. Her first book for children, Bring Me Some Apples and I’ll Make You a Pie, is a story about the pioneering African American chef Edna Lewis. In a starred review, School Library Journal reported, “Gourley’s luscious watercolors will have readers salivating as the berries plunk into pails and peach juice drips down chins.” Robbin and her husband have two children, and currently she divides her time between rural Pennsylvania and Brooklyn, New York.

By Rien Fertel May 24, 2019 10:11 am ET ‘I believe I know how food should taste,” Edna Lewis wrote 30 years ago, in a simple but proud, provocative yet entirely accurate pronouncement. Born in 1916 in Freetown, Va., a black farming community co-founded decades earlier by her newly emancipated grandfather Chester, she learned as a child to forage, farm and cook. Wanderlust eventually led her to New York, where she entertained a cross section of the city’s culturati, first at her own table, then at Café Nicholson, where Eleanor Roosevelt, Truman Capote and Marlon Brando were regulars. She turned to writing late in life, compiling four cookbooks that preached the virtues of pursuing flavor as she saw it, highlighting seasonal Southern recipes from her ancestors on both sides of the Atlantic who taught America how to eat. The re-release of her third cookbook, “In Pursuit of Flavor” (Knopf, 319 pages, $29.95), first published in 1988, is cause to sit down and savor. It not only traces one woman’s curious palate but subtly weaves the story of how rural black cooking became known as “Southern food” and in turn transformed American taste: cooked greens, whipped cornmeal with okra, buttermilk biscuits and lard- pie pastry.

  • {PDF EPUB} the Taste of Country Cooking by Edna Lewis Back of the Bookshelf: the Taste of Country Cooking
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Taste of Country Cooking by Edna Lewis Back of the Bookshelf: The Taste of Country Cooking. Some of the most beloved cookbooks in our library are the dustiest: books we grew up with, inherited from our grandparents, found at yard sales, or bought new decades ago. In this column, we celebrate these bibliographic treasures, and our favorite recipes therein. By Tim Mazurek March 27, 2013. Edna Lewis’s masterpiece of Southern cuisine, The Taste of Country Cooking , is widely hailed as one of the most important cookbooks of the 20th century, so it doesn’t make sense that it would require a resurrection, and certainly shouldn’t end up on the back of any bookshelf. If you already know Edna Lewis, you probably assume everyone does, but an informal poll of my friends found that only one or two people knew who she was and exactly zero owned one of her cookbooks. It is possible that this points to some failing of mine in choosing friends—not enough Southerners? Too few cooks? But I fear she may be one of those food writers who never became as widely read as others held in the same esteem. The Taste of Country Cooking chronicles life in Freetown, Virginia, the small farming community where Lewis spent her childhood. The book details a year in the life of Freetown and includes seasonal recipes and stories of life among friends and family. The recipes are organized into evocatively titled menus tied to particular events or times of year: Emancipation Day Dinner, A Dinner Celebrating the Last of the Barnyard Fowl, and A Late-Spring Lunch After Wild Mushroom Picking.

  • To Get Us Through the Winter
    Warmto geT us thrOUGH B ThE owlswinteR ne of my favorite authors from days of studying Russian history at UofM, Anton Chekhov, once said, “People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy.” I’m pretty happy, but honestly, I do notice a difference. I’d much rather be sitting outside in the sun working in a t-shirt than putting on three layers of shirts and scarves to get ready to go out in the Michigan winter. But even though O I’m not winter’s biggest fan, there are still a slew of ways to stay happy when the days are shorter and darker. One of the nice parts of my job is that I move frequently throughout the ZCoB (Zingerman’s Community of Businesses). I more often encounter the less well-known culinary treasures that less frequent flyers may not notice. As Wendell Berry wrote, “local knowledge of the local forest, like the forest itself, is an asset.” While the food itself is, of course, the point, it doesn’t help much if you don’t know about it! The least I can do is share my experiences! Putting all this together—happiness, cold weather and local knowledge—I put together a list of dishes to be had around the ZCoB. Bowls of heart- and hearth-warming, fully flavored, traditional foods that can take away the chill of your day and brighten your spirit. Chicken Soup at the Deli These are grits the way they would have been two hundred years ago.
