Summary

An original look at southern heirloom cooking with a focus on history, heritage, and variety. You expect to hear about restaurant kitchens in Charleston, New Orleans, or Memphis perfecting plates of the finest southern cuisine—from hearty red beans and rice to stewed okra to crispy fried chicken. But who would guess that one of the most innovative chefs cooking heirloom regional southern food is based not in the heart of biscuit country, but in the grain-fed Midwest—in Chicago, no less? Since 2008, chef Paul Fehribach has been introducing Chicagoans to the delectable pleasures of Lowcountry cuisine, while his restaurant Big Jones has become a home away from home for the city’s southern diaspora. From its inception, Big Jones has focused on cooking with local and sustainably grown heirloom crops and heritage livestock, reinvigorating southern cooking through meticulous technique and the unique perspective of its Midwest location. And with The Big Jones Cookbook, Fehribach brings the rich stories and traditions of regional southern food to kitchens everywhere.   Fehribach interweaves personal experience, historical knowledge, and culinary creativity, all while offering tried-and-true takes on everything from Reezy-Peezy to Gumbo Ya-Ya, Chicken and Dumplings, and Crispy Catfish. Fehribach’s dishes reflect his careful attention to historical and culinary detail, and many recipes are accompanied by insights about their origins. In addition to the regional chapters, the cookbook features sections on breads, from sweet potato biscuits to spoonbread; pantry put-ups like bread and butter pickles and chow-chow; cocktails, such as the sazerac; desserts, including Sea Island benne cake; as well as an extensive section on snout-to-tail cooking, including homemade Andouille and pickled pigs’ feet.   Proof that you need not possess a thick southern drawl to appreciate the comfort of creamy grits and the skill of perfectly fried green tomatoes, The Big Jones Cookbook will be something to savor regardless of where you set your table.

    “This mouthwatering collection is stuffed with satisfying Southern dishes that will keep any seafood lover coming back.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)   From the sky, Savannah and the surrounding Low Country resemble an intricate silvery spiderweb of creeks, rivers, marshes, and streams that feed into the Atlantic Ocean. Twice daily, seven-foot tides sweep the intracoastal waterways, nourishing abundant oyster beds. It is a rich marine environment that yields a variety of fresh seafood, and Savannahians have been delighting in their coastal cuisine since the area was first settled in 1733.   In this delightful roundup of the city’s classic seafood dishes, gathered from restaurants throughout Savannah, author Janice Shay has divided the featured recipes into the “major food groups”—crab, oysters, fish, and shrimp, with a nod to a few popular “carpetbagger” scallop recipes. From a hearty serving of Tubby’s Boiled Shrimp to the complex flavors of Mrs. Wilkes’ Seafood Casserole, Shay presents recipes the city’s chefs have refined to perfection. They will delight any cook with their simplicity and freshness. Those unfamiliar with Savannah food will be surprised at the soups, stews, and chowders that define their culinary traditions as well as the constant competition among restaurants as to who serves the best crab cake. Dive in and enjoy food that the whole family will love!  “This book’s a good catch, y’all. My fear is that, after this book hits the shelves, everyone will be buying so much seafood, there won’t be enough left for me.” —Martha Giddens Nesbit, coauthor of Paula Deen Celebrates!  “A mouthwatering adventure into the best restaurants the city has to offer.” —Library Journal
