00:00Although I never met her, what I learned from Edna Lewis and her cookbooks was that food deserves to be
00:04remembered.
00:05One of the things about Edna Lewis that really impressed me was the confidence she must have had.
00:10New York in the 40s and Lita Kitchen, that's incredible for her as a black woman to have done that.
00:16And I'm so thankful that I got to come across her work.
00:18The inspiration for this recipe is both from Edna Lewis and also from my mother,
00:23who I learned how to make pound cakes from.
00:25I feel proud. My mother would be proud.
