    Vivian Howard moved from New York back to her rural hometown to open a fine-dining restaurant that she hoped would reshape the palates of eastern North Carolina. But an encounter with collard kraut and a trip to “America’s largest pork display” ignited her interest in the traditional foods and culinary techniques unique to the Carolina coastal plain she calls home. So instead of changing the way her friends and neighbors eat, her community transformed Vivian’s culinary point of view and gave her cooking a singular voice. In this discussion Vivian talks about the food of the frugal farmer and how that approach to the kitchen reshaped the way she cooks in her restaurants and at home. “

    I just sat in on the Zoom session, and Vivian was mentioning that in her community, people only use meat as a condiment, and they don't waste a lot of food. It was an interesting program.
