Ms. Dupree was instrumental in creating the new Southern food movement that took hold in the 1990s. She helped form the Southern Foodways Alliance, based at the University of Mississippi, as a means of bursting the chicken-fried stereotype of the American South and fixing an honest lens on the ways race, gender and politics informed its subtle, seasonal and varied cooking. 

She wrote 15 cookbooks and hosted more than 300 television episodes, yet she grappled with a desire to reach a level of fame that she felt had been wrongly bestowed on Southern cooks like Paula Deen.
