Thanks! It was such a dream being a part of this project with Toni and Morgan there at ATK/CC!

Great to meet you in The Barn on Thursday -- and to have you autograph four books for me! Could you comment, please, about Edna Lewis's inclusion (and influence) in this book? Did you play any role in pinpointing the many places and recipes where Edna is mentioned? Or did those all come from dear Toni herself?

So great to meet you, too! Edna is a force and a foundation of southern food that resonates with nearly all southern women in food industry, even those who don't know that much about her or her legacy. That said, Toni was truly the driving force behind Edna's inclusion in the book.

Agreed! Did you or someone else craft sidebar page 215 (with Edna's photo)?

I'm not 100% positive, but that reads like something Toni would write.
