Rebecca Lang at Half-Mile Farm
Written By: Marlene Osteen | Issue: 2021/11 – November
Southern Cuisine Luminary Rebecca Lang shows how to throw a weekend’s worth of parties with a special weekend at Half-Mile Farm, December 3-4. Hosted events are for Half-Mile guests only. For more information, visit halfmilefarm.com.
On the first weekend in December, Half-Mile Farm will welcome one of the South’s culinary luminaries for a three-day celebration that promises lively conversations, book signings, breakfasts, music, and food tastings.
The celebrity in question will, of course, be Rebecca Lang, a food writer and cooking instructor, who has appeared on more than 50 nationally televised Southern Living food segments and is also a judge on the Food Network’s Chopped Junior and a ninth-generation Southerner.
In September, Lang published Y’all Come Over, a cookbook that follows seven earlier recipe collections.
The book brings to its readers Lang’s understanding that one aspect of cooking – and an impetus to it – is the force of hospitality in the South. Here it is a moral obligation of the host to feed the guest.
From the introductory “It’s time to have a party,” followed by chapters on invitations, Southern etiquette, and entertaining on a budget, to recipes that include Georgia Shrimp Rolls and Rocky Road Brownies, Lang demystifies the art of “throwing a noteworthy party,” and gives us formulas for “anticipating the needs of guests.”
Lang will bring her own extensive culinary education and history to the weekend events.
On Friday, and Saturday, she will host a social hour to include complimentary hors d’oeuvres created from the recipes of her latest book, served with craft beverages.
Saturday and Sunday breakfasts will showcase a few of the made-from-scratch dishes from her vast recipe repertoire. A Saturday late afternoon event, Y’all Come Over for the Holidays features “tips, recipes and tricks of the trade on how to celebrate the holidays in style.”
Hosted events are for Half-Mile guests only. For more information, visit halfmilefarm.com.
