Food in North Carolina and the South

Cookbook author, editor, freelance writer and award-winning essayist Debbie Moose takes an omnivorous approach to life - try at least one bite of everything. She started out with a journalism degree and a love of newsrooms, but discovered that food writing could touch on all aspects of life and offer the greatest opportunity to bring people together. The only thing people like as much as eating food is talking about it – no doubt about that. Debbie was born and raised in North Carolina. Throughout her writing career, she has enjoyed discovering the state’s wonderful food, great cooks and traditions. She brings her knowledge of and passion for the Tar Heel State to others, with a large dollop of humor.
