Eat It Up
is the result of my search for authentic, outstanding food products
in Roanoke, the New River Valley, Smith Mountain Lake, and the
surrounding areas. As a part of every class or group I speak to
in Roanoke, I discuss new or unfamiliar ingredients and where
to buy them locally. This guide is a much-expanded continuation
of that discussion: where I go to shop for food - not only ethnic,
but all kinds of fine edibles - and what I look for when I get
there.
