Rick Bragg's mom doesn't own a cookbook but she was taught how to cook the old fashioned way, she watched her mother and other wonderful cooks because she was interested even as a young girl. She is confident and a natural but unfortunately gave birth to three boys, none of whom can reliably prepare toast. Rick realized nobody was learning about his mother's cooking and that her abilities were like few others. He started interviewing her about her food and the stories came out about where the recipe originated or stories related to the food. Turns out those stories were as priceless as the recipe itself. This is one long audiobook but once I started, I didn't want to stop. Many great characters and much great food. If you want to cook it, you may need the print version but the stories in Bragg's voice are priceless.
