It chronicles her life on the farm in Freetown, VA, and her exodus to New York City where she became the adored chef for post-WW II artists, writers, scholars, and performers in Manhattan at Cafe Nicholson. There she cooked simple but elegant meals based on her family's approach to food - fresh, seasonal and local. Late in her life, Miss Lewis became friends with Scott Peacock, an Alabama-born, white chef almost 50 years her junior. Their friendship deepened into a unique relationship. They were called 'the odd couple' of the cooking world and co-authored a popular cookbook, "The Gift of Southern Cooking" (Knopf, 2003). As Miss Lewis grew older, Scott found a place where they could live together. He became her caregiver, helping her cope with a now frail mind and body. He carries on her approach to food and the recipes they created together at Watershed Restaurant in Atlanta. Written by Bailey Barash See less
