Yam Festival: A Conversation with Scott Peacock: The Sweet Potato in Southern Culture

Renowned Southern chef and author Scott Peacock will share taste memories of sweet potatoes, one of the most important crops in the South, from his own Alabama youth and the stories he has gleaned from others in his years of oral history gathering.  He will prepare and share the simple pleasure of slow-baked "cured" potatoes, rich with their own syrup and served cold.  Bring your own memory or recipe to serve as part of the evening's conversation.
