It will leave you not only enriched, but enlightened.” —Dan Barber, chef and author of The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food “This book is the real deal: American food with a sense of place and history.

You don’t have to be from the South to experience the authentic tastes, flavors, and stories using this book.” —David Kinch, chef and author of Manresa “This is the real thing. An honest book. A koan to Southern peoples and places. A humble roster of recipes, recollections, and farmer mash notes, from a country-boy-made-good. Start with muscadine and cucumber gazpacho. Move to rabbit stew with black pepper dumplings. Close with black walnut poundcake, drenched with chocolate gravy. You’re in the hands of a master.” —John T.
