This groundbreaking creation just might be the most clever cookbook ever to hit the market. Here’s why Amy C. Evans and Martha Hall Foose’s A Good Meal Is Hard To Find should be an essential addition to every cookbook collection.

One of the most unique art volumes this spring doubles as a cookbook. We’re smitten with Chronicle Books’ new release, A Good Meal Is Hard to Find: Storied Recipes from the Deep South. Co-author Amy C. Evans is a Texas talent who straddles the world of art and food — a nationally collected painter as well as a culinary historian.

I took the Saltville Centennial Cookbook home with the same anticipation I would have for a new novel. And as I read more of the descriptions—“Virgie’s six boys loved her frozen cheese salad,” “Marie’s cabbage soup could feed six people or four hungry farm hands,” or “Thelma made her River Road Special Sandwiches and then sat at the kitchen counter to finish her word search puzzle”—I found myself thinking about the work of my friend, artist Amy C. Evans.

When you think of the words “napkins” and “art” together, origami usually comes to mind. But not this time. In fact, you’ll be loathe to fold the works of art rendered on napkins for Delicious Alchemy: The Art of Food, Celebrating 10 Years of Recipe for Success Foundation.

Interview by Jenée Libby | Edacious Podcast | September 2015

In last week’s podcast we talked about how one ingredient, salt, can reveal the history of an entire region. But what if you took it further? Meet artist Amy Cameron Evans, a painter who creates narratives based on found objects and food. They’re modern still lifes. But they’re much more.

A drive-in customer may have destroyed Canopy’s front door on Wednesday, but a bit of paint and re-engineering (a chair has been removed from the patio to make more room) now guides visitors to the side entrance. A specialshort-term exhibition of an improvised piece by artist Amy C. Evans now adorns the replacement plywood covering the spot where the car came in.

Interview by Vilasi Venkatachalam | Secret Cuisines & Sacred Rituals | August 2014

An interesting conversation with Amy C. Evans, oral historian, on Southern Foodways, memory keeping, story gathering and how to be an oral historian. We explore lesser know cradles of culture of the American South. The insulated-isolated fishing communities in Florida, sharing memories, stories, yearnings...and more.

John T. Edge is talking to me about rice...The SFA staff also includes seven women, a couple of grad students and about half of a guy named Joe (more on him next week). And every single one of them will tell you the same thing: that their work isn’t about food. It is, instead, about capturing the stories of the people who grow, harvest, cook and serve the food we eat in the South.

Celebrating its fifteenth anniversary, the esteemed Southern Foodways Alliance prepares for its annual symposium. Here's a look at the team who makes it all happen.

PaperCity: Houston  | July 2013 | Page 6

From "Houston Gallery Walls to the Whitney's Hallowed Halls" should be the tag line for ArtHouston, which gets a fresh redux this month. Yet the annual event—conceived some 30 summer ago as "Introductions" to inject energy into the sultry month of July—remains true to its original vision. ArtHouston still serves up a cool and concise showcase of our best and brightest visual talents, but now with a welcome tweak.

We get food crushes sometimes...This time it's Amy Evans, who we'd always known as the oral historian for the Southern Foodways Alliance...That would be reason enough to adore her, but as it happens, she's also an exceptionally gifted painter who, naturally, uses food as the nexus of many of her visual narratives.

I had the occasion a few months ago, when doing some research into “the ham of my people” (country ham with redeye gravy), to stumble onto the work of Amy C. Evans, the award-winning, Mississippi-based oral historian of the Southern Foodways Alliance. On a whim, I sent her a random collection of questions, and, as luck would have it, she wrote back today with the answers. Here they are….

Southern cooking—and great food in general—is best when it tells a story. No one knows this better than Amy Evans, whose job as a culinary oral historian at the Southern Food Alliance (SFA) is to help travelers better understand the history and influences of Southern cuisine.
