Cheryl Day just wrote the definitive book on Southern baking.
“This book would not have been possible without the millions of enslaved laborers who worked in the fields, plantations, and kitchens of the United States,” Day writes in the book’s dedication. “My great-great-grandmother Hannah Queen Grubbs was born enslaved in 1838 and was among the women who created many of these Southern recipes.
“I consider my heritage, my ancestors, and the recipes that were passed down to me some of my greatest treasures,” Day tells me. As the title implies,is an invaluable trove of collective knowledge representing Day’s two greatest passions: food and history. “There were so many recipes I wanted to include, and it just kept growing and growing,” she says of the extensive recipe selection process.
