It was announced late February that Scott Peacock was leaving Watershed in Atlanta (okay, Decatur). When the NYT reported about it, they said that he was going to work on “a documentary based on oral histories of Alabama’s oldest residents and their food memories. He also wants to write books, including a memoir partly about his longtime relationship with Edna Lewis”. Has anyone heard anything else?
Last week, Kim Severson’s (food writer for the NYT) book “Spoon Fed: How Eight Cooks Saved My Life” was published and one of the chapters is about Scott and his relationship with Edna Lewis.
