Hello Locavores!
I’ve wanted to do a dinner around the theme of ‘Soul Food’ night for a long long time, ever since I was in a music shop and heard the sounds of the blues singer ‘Howlin Wolf’. I was hooked and thought I would love to do a dinner with food that would go down so well accompanied by the sounds of him, his contemporaries, those influenced him and those were influenced by him.
A visit to New Orleans in 2008 not only exposed me to so much good music but also the flavours of Southern food. I’ve want to recreate some of those taste bud tinglin’ dishes that I tried as well as trying a few of the recipes on y’all that I found in a great book that a friend lent me – Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible.
I’ve had the soundtrack to this night planned for ages and it’s now time to play it! Expect to hear Howlin’ Wolf, Ray Charles, Johnny Lee Hooker, Bessie Smith, Billie Holliday and John Lee Hooker to name but a few.
