Actually according to her website her name is now Crescent Dragonwagon but it wasn't always. When she got married her and her husband choose new names and they choose Dragonwagon as their new last names. Her first name was originally Ellen.

Food-related books that aren't cookbooks.

I've read and enjoyed quiet a few of the ones mentioned. I also enjoy culinary mysteries. Tamar Myers writes a funny series, Penn Dutch culinary mysteries. I've also heard Cooking for Mr. Latte is a good book and it's on my to read list.

Cook the Book: The Cornbread Gospels

Homemade is my favorite. I love cornbread and being southern it's the first thing I learned to cook. I always make mine in a cast iron skillet just like my Mom and Grands.
