Garden & Gun: G&G’s Favorite Cookbooks of 2021
Southern Ground, by Jennifer Lapidus
With at-home breadmaking encountering a sort of renaissance during the pandemic, Jennifer Lapidus’s book could not have come at a better time. In her book, Lapidus, the founder of Carolina Ground Flour in Asheville, North Carolina, walks the reader through some of the best craft bakeries in the region, sharing recipes such as porridge bread from Owl Bakery in Asheville, scones from Levee Baking Co. in New Orleans, and galettes from Sunflower Oven in Jackson, Mississippi, all the while telling the stories kneaded into every loaf. —Caroline Sanders
