02/18/06 In this encore presentation we celebrate food and memoir-- particularly poignant as we hear from Scott Peacock who co-authored, " A Gift of Southern Cooking" with Edna Lewis. Miss Lewis passed away Feb 13th at the age of 89. Join us as we look back at this extraordinary lady. Nothing can trigger memory like food. Perhaps that is why memoirs with recipes have become so popular. We'll hear from three authors who bring their stories and favorite food memories to the table. Shoba Narayan recalls growing up as a Hindu in India, and the culture shock of coming to America. Her new book is Monsoon Diary. Later, we'll escape to the Maine seashore with restaurateur Rebbeca Charles. Three generations of her family spent summers in Kennebunkport eating old-fashioned shore dinners. Rebecca has written Lobster Rolls and Blueberry Pie. Finally, we'll hear from chef Scott Peacock who planned to study in Europe until he met Edna Lewis, an icon of Southern cookery. She convinced him to stick with his roots and the two have written The Gift of Southern Cooking. This week's featured books:
