We use seasonal fruits and vegetables, pantry staples, and basic whole foods in our recipes. We
try to keep canned foods to a minimum, except for the ones we do. Freezing, fermentation,
dehydrating, and freeze-drying are also part of our normal activities, depending on the season.
Recipes are like stories; they can change from person to person. Everyone has their idea of how a recipe should be, even
though it may have changed from the original. We will never know the true author of the original recipe, regardless of
what some may say. That's why I go back and look through the oldest cookbooks that I can find. Sometimes it's not the
recipe in the books that I find, but the tiny pieces of handwritten recipes and newspaper articles that are stuck within
the pages. That's where the real story is, finding those simple Southern recipes. -Mac
