Culinary Luminaries-- Edna Lewis

Edna Lewis, a great chef, a culinary teacher, and cookbook writer, was born in Freeport, Virginia, where she learned to cook. She moved to New York and used her skills working in restaurants, most notably Café Nicholson in Manhattan and Gage and Tollner in Brooklyn. Her advocacy of genuine Southern cooking inspired a generation of chefs and helped ensure the survival of traditional Southern folkways. Her cookbooks include The Edna Lewis Cookbook (1972), The Taste of Country Cooking (1976), In Pursuit of Flavor (1988) and The Gift of Southern Cooking (2003), which she co-authored with Scott Peacock.

Speakers include Judith Jones, former Senior Editor, Alfred A. Knopf, Michael Twitty, Culinary Historian of African American Foodways; Chef Joe Randall, chair, Edna Lewis Foundation; and Tonya Hopkins, culinary historian. Moderated by New School faculty member, Andrew F. Smith.
