What comes to mind when you think about original Florida cracker cooking? If you’re thinking biscuits and gravy, chess pie and dumplings, you’re on the right track. Joy Harris's new cookbook,  The Florida Cracker Cookbook: Recipes & Stories from Cabin to Condo,  celebrates her ancestors' down home cooking -- some of which was done in a Panhandle cabin with no electricity! The Zest contributor Janet Keeler spoke to Joy about the roots of Florida cooking.
