Norma Watkins' memoir The Last Resort got a great mention in The New York Review of Books, Dec. 18, 2014. Reviewing The Culinary Imagination, Patricia Storace writes:
"Food is at the center of this genre of memoir because it is an integral part of another story. Norma Watkins's powerful The Last Resort, for example, studies food because the kitchen of her family's Mississippi hotel in the segregated South is a concentration of pleasure and cruelty, of generosity and injustice, when black people cooked for white people but could never eat with them, or as well."
