"Eat Drink Delta: A Hungry Traveler's Journey Through the Sould of the South eloquently tells the story of the deepest south of the
Deep South, the land where black and white can have sharp contrasts, and
yet many of the food traditions are blended into a rich, smooth
melange, much like the soil itself. Puckett immerses the reader in a
tale that shares how the dark, fertile soil of the Delta nurtures crops
as well as American food and culture. The land that produced King Cotton
also produced the King of Rock and Roll. And the land that produced
catfish and BBQ now produces kibbee and Chinese collard greens.
Puckett's artful storytelling creates a vivid scene--not mere guidebook
information--revealing a true culinary journey through one of the
largely unknown areas of the country." --Virginia Willis, author of Bon
Appetit, Y'all: Recipes and Stories from Three Generations of Southern
Cooking.
