OrangeReviewStarIn this Southern Living cookbook, James Beard Award-nominated chef Richards debuts an intimate take on soul food that pays homage to his family and ancestors. In ingredient-focused chapters (e.g., collards, onions, tomatoes, stone fruit), he precisely explains how to make exciting seasonal recipes such as collard green ramen, salmon croquettes with grits croutons and chive aioli, pineapple-glazed spareribs, and blueberry fried pies with meyer lemon glaze. Gorgeous matte photographs and expert food styling provide inspiration.
VERDICT Expertly written and beautifully produced, this deserves a spot in most collections.
