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.
Grandma Hill's Hoecakes
I didn't grow up with hoecakes, which is not surprising considering my mother was from PA and my father was from Scotland, but neither did my NC born and raised husband. So I think it's probably a family thing. Whichever cornmeal bread the family liked (or liked making) becomes the standard. My husband's family made hushpuppies and pans of fluffy cornbread.All Videos
