Henry County’s Cooking |
||||||||
By Mickie Jackson Our featured cooks oftentimes share a favorite food memory which I always enjoy reading. One of my favorite books, Laurie Colwin’s Home Cooking; A Writer in the Kitchen is comprised of essays based on kitchen memories. The book is, in large part, a memoir and speaks of the writer’s love of home and feeding family and friends. Colwin’s recipes run the gamut from perfect fried chicken to a chapter on kitchen horrors. Although her book is a great read, many of the recipes are for foods I would not even try. The creamed spinach below is one that I enjoy. I haven’t tried it with fresh spinach, but the spinach in my fall garden is about ready so I will be doing that soon. |
