The Cornbread Gospels

Crescent Dragonwagon’s enthusiasm is contagious in her bookThe Cornbread Gospels. In this single-subject book, Dragonwagon leaves no stone uncovered as she discusses the differences between northern and southern cornbreads, cornbread around the world and more. Her book includes spoonbreads, and sides like beans that, she explains, pair so well with cornbread because it lacks an enzyme that the beans supply. Even if you have a tried and true recipe, you’ll want to try some of Dragonwagon’s.
