The Southern Foodways Alliance Needs Your Recipes!

Swampland has the utmost respect for the Southern Foodways Alliance so we thought we would share this recent request for recipes that they have sent out to folks around the Footprint.

Help them out if you can!

SFA Family:

Your alliance is writing a cookbook and we need your help.

For the past few months a crew of folks -Sara Roahen, April McGreger, Tim Davis, Sheri Castle, Angie Mosier, and Brooks Hamaker - has been compiling recipes and stories. Before too long, UGA Press will publish this opus.

Our mission is to assemble a true community cookbook, by the SFA community, for the SFA community, keeping in mind with the organization's democratic, home-cooking-focused ideals.

We aim to include recipes and stories from a wide variety of SFA members, oral history subjects, and friends, drawing from the organization's nearly decade-long history.

And now we need your help. We have some holes to fill.

If you will be so kind as to help, April 20 is your DEADLINE. Just email us: sfamail@olemiss.edu.
