Martha Hall Foose

Chef's Library Selection for March 2008

For years we've awaited the first book by Delta chef Martha Foose, and the result, Screen Doors and Sweet Tea, is even better than we imagined. The recipes, stories and photographs perfectly capture this unique region, as only a tried-and-true native could do. Martha's creativity in the kitchen translates to the page, and any aficionado of American regional cuisine will savor this guide to a truly authentic corner of the country. Fellow Southern food lovers the Lee Brothers, Matt and Ted, say, "Her stories of growing up in Mississippi have the unmistakably Southern cadence of tales swapped across the dinner table. The book has given us a new appreciation for the genius of Delta cuisine, and even better, it has us yearning to cook, gather friends, and tell stories.”
