Every bite connects to a rich, complicated, beautiful history that too often got left behind.
Brock makes the case, one soulful recipe at a time, that Southern cuisine isn’t just comfort food. It’s world-class, layered, and worth preserving.This book is for anyone who loves food with heart, heritage, and a little rebellion. Prepare to rethink everything you thought you knew about grits, greens, and what it means to cook Southern.
