“Hello Tribune readers!  In this week’s NKC Tribune (Jan. 5, 2011 edition), my Frankly Speaking About Good Food column features “lucky” New Year’s food traditions. This supplement to that article is an excerpt from a class that I teach about Southern Cooking.  In the class we learn about the colorful history of the foods prepared for New Years.  Below are the core ingredients you need to learn to prepare – pork roasts, greens and then black eyed peas and rice to make the famous Hoppin’ John.  In the classroom setting I discuss a lot of techniques, so I have re-written these recipes below with the additional information – so don’t be scared at the long narratives ahead, they are there to teach you. I hope that you try each of these flavorful and unique dishes, they are very delicious, fun and easy to prepare!” -Chef Frank
