Marcie Cohen Ferris gathers a constellation of leading journalists,
farmers, chefs, entrepreneurs, scholars, and food activists-along
with photographer Baxter Miller- to offer a deeply immersive
portrait of North Carolina's contemporary food landscape. Ranging
from manifesto to elegy, Edible North Carolina's essays,
photographs, interviews, and recipes combine for a beautifully
revealing journey across the lands and waters of a state that
exemplifies the complexities of American food and identity. While
North Carolina's food heritage is grounded in core ingredients and
the proximity of farm to table, this book reveals striking
differences among food-centered cultures and businesses across the
state. Documenting disparities among people's access to food and
farmland-and highlighting community and state efforts toward
fundamental solutions-Edible North Carolina shows how culinary
excellence, entrepreneurship, and the struggle for racial justice
converge in shaping food equity, not only for North Carolinians,
but for all Americans. Starting with Vivian Howard, star of PBS's A
Chef's Life, who wrote the foreword, the contributors include
Shorlette Ammons, Karen Amspacher, Victoria Bouloubasis, Katy
Clune, Gabe Cumming, Marcie Cohen Ferris, Sandra Gutierrez, Tom
Hanchett, Michelle King, Cheetie Kumar, Courtney Lewis, Malinda
Maynor Lowery, Ronni Lundy, Keia Mastrianni, April McGreger, Baxter
Miller, Ricky Moore, Carla Norwood, Kathleen Purvis, Andrea
Reusing, Bill Smith, Maia Surdam, and Andrea Weigl.
