Scarlett O'Hara munched on a radish and vowed never to go hungry
again. Vardaman Bundren ate bananas in Faulkner's Jefferson, and
the Invisible Man dined on a sweet potato in Harlem. Although food
and stories may be two of the most prominent cultural products
associated with the South, the connections between them have not
been thoroughly explored until now. Southern food has become the
subject of increasingly self-conscious intellectual consideration.
The Southern Foodways Alliance, the Southern Food and Beverage
Museum, food-themed issues of Oxford American and Southern
Cultures, and a spate of new scholarly and popular books
demonstrate this interest. Writing in the Kitchen explores the
relationship between food and literature and makes a major
contribution to the study of both southern literature and of
southern foodways and culture more widely. This collection examines
food writing in a range of literary expressions, including
cookbooks, agricultural journals, novels, stories, and poems.
Contributors interpret how authors use food to explore the changing
South, considering the ways race, ethnicity, class, gender, and
region affect how and what people eat. They describe foods from
specific southern places such as New Orleans and Appalachia, engage
both the historical and contemporary South, and study the food
traditions of ethnicities as they manifest through the written
word.
