50 Years of Complete Techniques and The Taste of Country Cooking

In 1976, Jacques Pepin’s Complete Techniques detailed and democratized the foundations of French cooking for an American audience, and Edna Lewis’s The Taste of Country Cooking proclaimed the beauty and bounty of local, seasonal Southern food as one of the world’s great cuisines. Join Toni Tipton-Martin, culinary historian and author of a new foreword for the 50th anniversary edition of The Taste of Country Cooking, and Rollie Wesen, Professor of Food Studies and Culinary Arts and Founder and Executive Director of the Jacques Pepin Foundation, for a conversation on the lasting impact of both of these books across both home and professional kitchens. Moderated by culture writer and cookbook co-author Osayi Endolyn.
