Jean Anderson's new cookbook deliciously brings together two of her lifelong passions—great food and North Carolina pottery. Fans of both will celebrate. While always meant for one another, pottery and cooking are enjoying a new romance—many potters have introduced designs, glazes, and techniques that make pottery more versatile, while others continue making the traditional pie plates, casseroles, jugs, and mugs that made the state's pottery famous. Potters now routinely tuck recipes into everything from stoneware angel-food cake pans to salt-glazed bean pots, and Anderson has selected a treasury of 76 favorite recipes contributed by the twenty-four gifted North Carolina potters featured in this book.
Following an introduction to the North Carolina pottery traditions and general instructions for cooking in clay, Anderson sets off on three tours, pinpointed on maps, that wind through the state's prime pottery regions—the Greater Triangle, Seagrove-Asheboro, and the Catawba Valley/Mountains. She profiles the featured potters, sharing their captivating backstories and favorite, fully tested recipes. How about trying Ben Owen's persimmon pudding, Mark Hewitt's South African beef bobotie, or Siglinda Scarpa's Italian fruit tart, to name just a few of the dishes that span the South and the globe. Beautiful photographs of recipes in their clay vessels will urge you to dig in.

      North Carolina's pottery is famous, and so is its cooking. Here is a book that celebrates both. Anderson (Crisps, Cobblers, Custards & Creams) collaborates with 24 area potters to present 76 recipes, most of which make good use of traditional casseroles, pie plates, crocks, and more. Dishes have been tested and tweaked by Anderson and span the traditional, such as pimento cheese pinwheels and Jugtown pepper pie, to the more unexpected, including kimchi deviled eggs and steamed green tea and rose cake with sesame whipped cream. The introduction provides a solid primer on pottery terms and tips for cooking with traditional clay vessels. Other extras include a list of sources for harder-to-find ingredients (though Anderson does give substitutions when needed) and profiles and addresses for each potter. VERDICT Anyone who has bought a beautiful hand-thrown vessel at an art fair and then wondered what to do with it will appreciate this attractive book, as will home cooks and fans of ceramics in general.--Devon Thomas, Chelsea, MI
