Deep Run Roots
Vivian Howard is a chef, restauranteur, author, and native North Carolinian. Deep Run Roots, her first cookbook, is an homage to the Eastern North Carolina home cooking she grew up eating. For us, it mirrors my southern husband's experiences and helps me make more of the food that he grew up eating himself.
Baked Figs and Goat Cheese with Caramelized Onions and Pecans
I really love fresh figs, and they grow so well here in North Carolina that I really wish I weren't allergic. If they're cooked, like in this recipe, I can eat more than when they're fresh, but they still make my mouth feel funny. So sad. I could never make the most of the harvest if I grew them myself; I can hardly use the ones our neighbor shares with us!All Videos
