A New Turn in the South

This product is not currently available.

We can’t stop talking about Hugh Acheson’s first cookbook, packed with delicious recipes for modern, Southern dishes that draw liberally from a global pantry–sweet sorghum ice cream; a playful risotto with okra, country ham, boiled peanuts and ramps. The pages are filled with quirky illustrations of dishes and techniques (all drawn by Acheson himself) plus charming photos of the chef’s own friends and family having fun in the kitchen. We love the recipe for oysters on the half shell accompanied by a picture of Acheson’s little daughter, Beatrice, shucking them fearlessly. The wonderful recipes are never fussy, full of helpful tips for a new cook–like how to make clarified butter–as well as Acheson’s favorite things (grits, vinegar, and mushroom foragers, to name a few). Simply put, it’s a must-have.

Here's what you get:

Hugh Acheson Athens, GA

Acheson entered the spotlight when he appeared on Bravo’s Top Chef Masters series. But devotees to his style of Southern cooking already knew about this chef/partner of Five and Ten restaurant and The National. Now a four-time James Beard nominee, and a Food & Wine Best New Chef, it’s easy to see why Acheson is a national treasure.

Southern Living

How did a Canadian-born chef come to define new Southern cooking? Hugh Acheson’s beautiful, deeply personal new cookbook starts with this story. Though Acheson is now instantly recognizable for appearing on Bravo’s Top Chef Masters, the chef has been applying his refined techniques to Southern ingredients for many years and his first book is rich with that experience. From a playful risotto with okra, country ham, boiled peanuts and ramps, to chanterelles on toast, or a simple peach pie, Acheson’s delicious, seasonal recipes are always anchored with a story.
