If you don't know who Edna Lewis is, take the next 20 minutes to watch "Fried Chicken & Sweet Potato Pie," a fantastic documentary directed by Bailey Barash on Gourmet.com (click here) about Ms. Lewis, her life and her beautiful friendship with Atlanta Chef Scott Peacock. Many of you might remember my visit to Watershed in Atlanta last year, but this is the story behind it. I can't recommend it enough.

I'm in Atlanta and love reading about Edna. I had no idea there was a documentary! I'll definitely check it out.

What a great reminder about an amazing southern cook. I made her chicken soup/stock recipe many years ago. I remember it today as the best chicken soup I ever made. I've been cooking for a long time and have made many a pot of chicken soup. But never, never as flavorful as her recipe. Her talents are very much unsung. The video was great and a wonderful introduction to Miss Lewis.
