Dori Sanders
Dorinda 'Dori' Sanders (born c.1935,[1] York County, South Carolina) is an African-American novelist, food writer and farmer.[2] Her first novel, Clover (1990), was a bestseller, and won a 1990, Lilian Smith Book Award. She has also written a cookbook, Dori Sanders' Country Cooking, that mixes recipes and anecdotes.
The eighth of ten children, Sanders is a fourth generation farmer. She cultivates peaches and vegetables with her brother, on Sanders Peach Farm and Roadside Market, located in Filbert, South Carolina.[3][4] In the video created to celebrate her 2011 Craig Claiborne Lifetime Achievement Award from the Southern Foodways Alliance, Sanders tells how her father, a rural school teacher, purchased the land in approximately 1915 and began successfully cultivating peaches in the early 1920s.[5]
