In “Edible North Carolina” from UNC Press, UNC historian Marcie Cohen Ferris brings together a stellar roster of important journalists, farmers, chefs, entrepreneurs, scholars, and food activists—as well as photographer Baxter Miller—to create a compelling and deeply informed portrait of the contemporary food landscape in North Carolina. In breadth, depth, and diversity, the volume’s ambitious documentary portrait of the state’s food histories, cultures, and economies is without parallel. Ranging from elegy to manifesto, the writing, interviews, illustrations, and recipes harness a fascinating range of voices and perspectives in this eye-opening journey across North Carolina’s distinctive regions and waters. No state, Ferris argues, better illuminates the complexities that make up American food, flavor, and identity than North Carolina.

At this event, Ferris and co-editor KC Hysmith will talk about the book. Learn more about this event here.
