Sunday, January 19 at 3pm at The NewSouth Bookstore: Anne Byrn introduces Baking in the American South
January 19, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
There are cookbooks and then there are cookbooks. Anne Byrn’s new Baking in the American South: 200 Recipes and Their Untold Stories has already been called a treasure — a yeasty, mouthwatering volume of time-tested recipes served up with stories of the people who created them. Recipes can tell you volumes — about crops raised, languages spoken, family customs and more. Byrn delivers scores of great recipes — for cheese biscuits, cornbread, cakes and rolls and more — even as she provides a deep dive into the history of fourteen Southern states, featuring stories and culinary traditions from pre-Civil War times to today’s Southern kitchens. Her Baking in the American South is a definitive work that will itself stand the taste of time. Come meet Anne Byrn at The NewSouth Bookstore on Sunday, January 19 at 3pm.
