We ate a lot of cornbread this summer and not all of it good. Often I found it too cakey and extremely sweet . When it was good, however, it was fantastic. Stand out cornbread experiences included my friend, Nanette’s kitchen, the dining hall of the Folk School and an excellent brunch in Marché Artisan Foods, Nashville.
Since returning I’ve made this version by Anna Jones several times. It’s a coriander and chilli spiked version made with cornmeal and fresh corn. Not very traditional, perhaps, but a cracker of a recipe.
PS If you don’t know Anna Jones, I highly recommend her cookbooks. All dishes are vegetarian and I’m yet to find one that underwhelms me.
