Smith's first encounter with okra was of the worst kind: slimy and fried at a greasy-spoon diner. Despite that introduction, he developed a fascination with okra, leading him to discover a range of delicious ways to cook and eat this vagabond vegetable. Here Smith provides a roving and rich collection of okra history, lore, recipes, craft projects, growing advice, and so much more. -- adapted from back cover
