Spring Council, Southern Roots Buffet Luncheon February 13, 2026

Join us on Friday, February 13th at 12pm in The Fearrington Barn for a special luncheon reception as we celebrate Spring Council's debut cookbook, Southern Roots: Recipes and Stories from Mama Dip's Daughter. Spring Council will be in conversation with noted food historian Marcie Cohen Ferris, who penned the forward to the cookbook.

This collection features 100 treasured recipes ranging from easy weeknight meals to celebratory dishes, blending time-honored family traditions with the author’s own Southern-inspired creations. Woven throughout are personal stories that illuminate how food has shaped her life and deepened her connection to Southern heritage. Full-color photography showcases each dish on her vintage tableware, while inventive ingredients and modern techniques bring fresh energy to classic Southern cooking. 

"For me, food has always been the thread connecting seasons, memories, and generations, a precious gift from my mother, Mama Dip. Continuing her beloved culinary legacy, Southern Roots is more than just a cookbook; it's a heartfelt journey through life's celebrations and quiet moments, all told through the lens of food and family."
