Larissa's Breadbook: Ten Incredible Southern Women and Their Stories of Courage, Adventure, and Discovery

Rating:
Summary: Women's history and food... two favorite topics in one book
Review: I love this book! It explores and celebrates the rich cultural diversity of the south, through the eyes of a young girl and ten aging women who share their memories...and their recipes. (There are twelve different versions of cornbread...yum!) As the author writes, "...the South was never only black and white, but was always a rich rainbow of ethnic groups..." So you'll find represented here African-American, North European, Italian, Mexican, Cajun, Appalachian, Cherokee and Jewish traditions.
