Sean Brock is the chef behind the game-changing restaurants Husk and McCrady’s. This hardback book, his first, shares his inspired recipes. With a drive to preserve the heritage foods of the South, Celebrity chef Sean Brock cooks ingredient-driven dishes that reinterpret the flavors of his Appalachian childhood and Charleston, South Carolina, where he lived for many years. Brock’s recipes—like Pickled Shrimp, Hoppin’ John, Crispy Pig Ear Lettuce Wraps, Slow-Cooked Pork Shoulder with Tomato Gravy, and Baked Sea Island Red Peas—sit beside headnotes that explain his background and essays in which he sings praise for his favorite purveyors and ingredients he cherishes.
