Sunday, November 17
Central Market Cooking Tent
In her new cookbook Baking in the American South, Anne Byrn shares both Southern baking recipes and the stories embedded in the dishes. The stories and histories behind specific recipes and ingredients across 14 states makes for a rich, engaging collection of dishes. As you bake your way through "sizzling cornbread," sweet, fluffy pies, and zesty poundcakes, learn about the chefs behind stunning reimaginings of classic pastries, African American women who have contributed influential methods to Southern baking, and pre–Civil War traditions that have shaped the way we work with dough, butter, and sugar. In this session, watch Byrn in a cooking demonstration while she discusses the histories and people behind her recipes.
