Edna Lewis loved to cook. Growing up on a farm in Freetown, Virginia, she learned the value of fresh, local, seasonal food from her Mama Daisy, as well as how to measure ingredients for biscuits using coins and to listen closely to her cakes to know when they were done. Edna carried these traditions with her all the way to New York City, where she became a celebrated chef, cooking traditional French food in her signature Southern style and introducing the world to the flavors of her home.

Reviews for Chef Edna: Queen of Southern Cooking, Edna Lewis

“This tribute to a dedicated champion of traditional Southern food and culture makes a wonderful read-aloud.” * Booklist * Cabrera’s vivid paintings are equally at home depicting the glamour of New York society and the closeness of Freetown’s community. * The Horn Book Magazine *
