Have another slice of pie!
The best stories are told over dinner with Kathryn Tucker Windham
Although Kathryn Tucker Windham is best known for her lifetime of work promoting the Southern art of storytelling, she also has devoted herself to preserving the art of Southern cooking. The two passions are actually closely related, she notes, because the best stories are often told at the dinner table as families and friends gather around a bounty of great Southern food and linger over an extra piece of pie.
Her cookbooks include such classics as Southern Cooking to Remember, Treasured Alabama Recipes, Treasured Georgia Recipes and Treasured Tennessee Recipes. "Real Southern food," she says in her preface to Southern Cooking to Remember, "despite what its crass promoters and its bigoted detractors say, is not always fried, nor is it typically greasy or heavy or monotonous."
Alabama Southern Community College in Thomasville will host an event on Saturday, September 29, 2007, honoring Ms. Windham and her twin passions for storytelling and Southern food. Celebrating a new edition of her classic Alabama, One Big Front Porch, the day begins at 10 a.m. with storytelling and a book signing.
