SOUL: A Chef's Culinary Evolution in 150 Recipes

Autor Todd Richards
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 mai 2018
James Beard Award-nominated Chef Todd Richards shares his personal culinary exploration of soul food.

Black American chefs and cooks are often typecast as the experts of only one cuisine—soul food, but Todd Richards’ food is anything but stereotypical. Taste his Hot-Chicken-Style Country-Fried Lamb Steak or Blueberry-Sweet Tea-Brined Chicken Thighs as evidence. While his dishes are rooted in family and the American cuisine known as soul food, he doesn’t let his heritage restrain him. The message of Soul is that cooks can honor tradition yet be liberated to explore. Todd Richards celebrates the restorative wonders of a classic pot of Collard Greens with Ham Hocks, yet doesn’t shy away from building upon that foundational recipe with his Collard Green Ramen, a reinterpretation that incorporates far-flung flavors of cultural influences and exemplifies culinary evolution. Page after page, in more than 150 recipes and stunning photos, Todd shares his creativity and passion to highlight what soul food can be for a new generation of cooks. Whether you’re new to Southern and soul food or call the South your home, Soul will encourage you to not only step outside of the box, but to boldly walk away from it.

The chapters in Soul are organized by featured ingredients: Collards, Onions, Berries, Lamb, Seafood, Corn, Tomatoes, Melons, Stone Fruit, Eggs and Poultry, Pork and Beef, Beans and Rice, and Roots. Each one begins with a traditional recipe and progresses alongside Richards’ exploration of flavor combinations and techniques.

Recenzii

“In Soul, Todd Richards defines soulful cooking and rejects limiting definitions of soul food. Fluent in African-American history and cultural mores, he charts a progressive path forward for the generations of young chefs who will surely follow in his wake. Plus, any book that leads with a collards chapter wins my heart.” —John T. Edge, author of The Potlikker Papers: A Food History of the Modern South
 
“Atlantans and others who’ve come to crave Todd Richards’ deft remixes of cuisines and traditions will love Soul for recipes like lamb steaks country-fried in the style of Nashville’s fabled hot chicken, oysters poached in collard-green pesto, and crispy chitterlings over spicy fried rice. And readers new to Richards’ talent will be blown away, not just by his technical and sensual acumen in the kitchen, but by his masterful sermons on the meaning of the elusive, powerful word, ‘soul.’ ” —Matt and Ted Lee, authors of The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen
 
Soul is a stunningly beautiful cookbook. Richards takes one of our nation’s earliest and most cherished fusion cuisines to a new culinary frontier of endless, creative possibilities.” —Adrian Miller, author of the James Beard Award-winning book, Soul Food: The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine, One Plate at a Time

“My most treasured books make me feel like I’m spending time with that person and getting to know their soul. I’ve read every word in this book and drooled over the photos. Flipping through Soul made me want to hop in the car and go see Todd just to talk food and catch up. Within these pages is the story of a chef’s journey to define his cuisine and the food that fills his heart.” —Sean Brock, author of the James Beard Award-winning book, Heritage​
