The Best Cook in the World: Tales from My Momma’s Table Audiobook (Free)

Through the beloved, best-selling writer of All Over but the Shoutin’, a delectable, rollicking food memoir, cookbook, and loving tribute to a region, a vanishing history, a family group, and, especially, to his mom.

Margaret Bragg does not own an individual cookbook. She actions in ‘dabs’ and ‘smidgens’ and ‘tads’ and ‘you know, hon, just some.’ She can’t be pinned straight down on how longer to bake corn bread (‘about 15 to 20 mins, depending on the mysteries of your oven’). Her notion of farm-to-table is usually a about THE VERY BEST Cook in the Globe: Tales from My Momma’s Table flatbed vehicle. But she can tell you the secrets to perfect mashed potatoes, corn pudding, redeye gravy, pinto beans and hambone, stewed cabbage, short ribs, poultry and dressing, biscuits and butter rolls. The irresistible stories with this audiobook are of long memory — many of them pre-date the Civil Battle, passed down skillet by skillet, in one era of Braggs to another. In THE VERY BEST Make in the World, Rick Bragg finally preserves his history by telling the tales that framed his mother’s cooking food and education, from years as a child into old age. Because great food always includes a great story, and a recipe, writes Bragg, is usually a story like anything else.
