Fix Me a Plate: Traditional and New School Soul Food Recipes from Scotty Scott of Cook Drank Eat

"Fort Worth personal chef and food blogger Scotty Scott’s first cookbook is a blend of traditional family recipes alongside soul food staples, remixed. There’s his great-grandmother’s sweet potato pie – the “world’s best,” he says! – and his mother’s salmon croquettes. Red beans and rice are remade into a bright, fresh hummus. He infuses hush puppies with homemade pimiento cheese, tartar sauce with a pinch of cinnamon. Scott lets us in on the stories behind the food and pays homage to his ancestors with what he puts on the plate. This is feel-good food."
