Her appearance is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
It’s free and the public is invited.
Castle, author of The New Southern Garden Cookbook among
more than a dozen other cookbooks, will tell stories and reflect on the roles
that food traditions play in Southern families, lives, history and culture.
A contributing editor for Southern Living magazine who
writes regularly for a number of magazines and newspapers, Castle is the subject
of five short documentaries on Southern food produced by A Spoken Dish, a storytelling project of the Southern Foodways
Alliance. She also is a popular speaker and demo chef at culinary events across
the South and is asked to cook on television from time to time.
Her cooking classes garner a loyal following. One journalist
observed, “Sheri Castle is one of the most brilliant recipe developers I know,
a terrific writer, and her cooking classes are equal parts crucial info and
laugh-until-you-drop trenchant observation.” Her colleagues say she has one of
the best palates in the industry.
A native of Watauga County, Castle now lives in Fearington
Village. She says she is fueled by her beloved Appalachian Mountains, farmers’
markets, excellent bourbon, and the pursuit of the right word.
