Bring Me Some Apples and I'll Make You a Pie: A Story About Edna Lewis
Description
Set across the changing seasons on a Virginia farm, this lyrical story follows Edna Lewis as she and her family gather apples, berries, and vegetables—then transform the harvest into comforting meals that feel both intimate and celebratory. Woven through the seasonal rhythm is Edna’s inspiring life story, tracing her roots as a descendant of enslaved people and her rise to becoming a celebrated chef. With themes of family, resilience, and the deep connection between food and memory, the book invites readers to see cooking as a form of heritage. Richly written and accessible in tone, it blends storytelling with practical culinary knowledge, including five recipes that bring Edna’s spirit to the table.
