"Two cultures steeped in farming find rich common ground in this
captivating tribute from chef Scott."?--Publishers Weekly, starred
review
"Chris Scott gives us a vibrant addition to the soul canon. Heart
and craftmanship, mentoring and tradition, and creativity and
respect are his main ingredients. You'll be grateful for this
journey."-Michael Twitty, author, culinary historian, and
educator
"There's so much heart in Homage that it stopped me in my tracks.
Sure, the book's got excellent recipes--who can resist the
succulent poetry of Whoopie Pies and Dandelion Wine, Yam Molasses
and Okra Chow-Chow, Pan-Seared Chicken Livers and Crispy Fried
Tomatoes? But Chris Scott goes deep beyond cooking in the spirit of
honoring his ancestors, guiding his four children, and telling a
uniquely American story. You can sense that spirit glowing from
every page: Homage is an instant classic." -Jeff Gordinier, author
of Hungry
"If a dish could hold a whole a generational, cultural culinary
history, you would find it in Homage. A family's Black heritage in
a book of recipes flavored by a unique Amish tradition. Homage is
about perseverance and evolution, and stories that serve the life,
artistry, and devotion of Chris Scott on a plate. Here is food born
of love, life, a family's faith, and a coming of age. Because just
when you thought you knew what soul food was, think again: be truly
amazed, satiated, and transported." -Alexander Smalls, chef,
restauranteur, author, opera singer, and social minister
"Having the privilege of cooking alongside Chris Scott, I can
assure you that his food and his writing are passionate and
soulful, and utterly important. Homage is a must-have and a
must-read." -Mike Solomonov, James Beard Award winning chef and
cookbook author "Chris Scott is the real deal. His food is an
authentic extension of his heritage and his training. He is a
student of cuisine, bringing creativity and innovation to
traditional flavors to make them insanely delicious." -Tanya
Holland, chef, restaurateur, podcast host, and cookbook author
