Sean Brock told Southern Living about his collection of vintage cookbooks, which he said he consults daily for his menus. His list includes titles like The Southern Gardener and Receipt Book, which he looks to for info on saving seeds and hunting bees, and What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern Cooking, "one of the first cookbooks to be published by an African-American." In case you can't get a reservation at Husk, Brock will be cooking at the Ultimate Critics' Dinner on October 3. [SL]
