Katori Hall dreams of lobsters and peaches. Illustration: Margalit Cutler “I would say, even though I’m in the middle of New York City, I have felt the most southern that I’ve felt in a really long time because of the fact that I have to cook so much nowadays,” says the playwright Katori Hall, whose work is often set in her hometown of Memphis.

I’m from the South, so I grew up on some amazing food. My mama did teach her little girl how to, as she says, “burn in the kitchen” — not actually burn stuff, but cook really good in the kitchen.

It’s something we drink a lot. I wouldn’t say every, every day, but I’ll make a pitcher for the kids especially. They love their red drink.
