South

If Heritage was Sean Brock’s love letter to Southern food, South is his deep dive into its soul. This follow-up takes the building blocks of Southern cuisine — the grains, the greens, the heirloom beans, the preserves — and shows how these humble essentials form the foundation for dishes that are anything but ordinary.  Brock isn’t just handing you recipes here. He’s guiding you through how to cook them right and where to find the ingredients that truly make them sing. He shines a spotlight on the farmers, purveyors, and regions that keep Southern food alive and evolving, showing that great cooking starts way before the kitchen.With the same passion and precision he’s known for, Brock helps you turn even the simplest ingredients into something deeply personal, wildly flavorful, and undeniably Southern. It’s not just cooking. I’s connecting to a place, a history, and a way of life.
