Southern Comfort
Inspired by Edna Lewis
$35
From Chef Ouita: Edna Lewis is whom I see when I think of myself in 20 or 25 years. I’ll be mostly sitting on the porch at Holly Hill, cooking once a week, letting the younger cooks come to me for my critiques, passing on my secrets. She wasn’t just a country cook; Edna Lewis was a technician and had a mastery of flavor and subtlety that I am still in pursuit of in my own cooking. Her cooking was at once appealing, comforting and also sophisticated with a layered and depth of flavor that can only come from careful development of a dish over years of practice.
