About Food & Home

A pot of beans simmering all afternoon is one of the great comforts of Southern cooking — the smell of onion and bacon softening in the broth, the lid barely rattling, the whole kitchen going slow and easy. Black-eyed peas with a ham hock are a New Year's Day tradition across the South, said to bring good luck with every spoonful. Cornbread baked in a cast-iron skillet is the natural companion, ready to soak up every last drop of that rich pot likker at the bottom of the bowl.
