"Justin uses his cooking to transcend geography, connect with his
family, and share a bit of his history, and our history, with the world.
Slow down, give it a read, and get cookin.'" ―Guy Fieri, host of
Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives and Guy's Ranch Kitchen
In 90+ soul-satisfying recipes, Emmy Award-nominated Taste the
Culture host, beloved Top Chef star, chef, and restaurateur Justin
Sutherland offers his take on easy Southern-inspired home cooking...with
a Northern Twist.
Justin owns multiple restaurants in the Twin Cities, though his
reputation is national. You may know him from television, where he won
an Iron Chef episode, competed on Season 16 of Top Chef, and is
one of the chefs featured on Fast Foodies and is producer and host of
Taste the Culture, both airing on TruTV/TBS.
In his highly anticipated first cookbook, Justin shares the
inspiration and foundation behind his approach to his signature
Southern cooking, which includes his upbringing in the Northern Midwest
and the South, as well as his African-American and Asian heritage.
Northern Soul features his signature recipes for lunch, brunch,
dinner, snacks, late-night meals, and cocktail recipes. Justin shares
how you can make easy, traditional Southern recipes with a Northern
flair, in your own kitchen. From recipes like Chicken and Waffles
and Creole Jambalaya to Bourbon Pecan Pie with Maple Whip and
Hot Mac and Cheese, plus spice blends, sauces, rubs and pickles,
you'll learn just how deliciously southern soul and northern heart
blend.
Praise for Northern Soul:
"I am covered in chills reading Justin Sutherland's book. It's
mindful, soulful, important, and truly American--because it is a
global story. We are one. We are all connected if we choose to be. With
Justin's cookbook, we all come one step closer, and one meal closer, to
one another."
―Rachael Ray, host of "30 Minute Meals" and "The Rachael Ray Show"
"In Northern Soul, Justin Sutherland elevates southern comfort dishes
in a unique way that speaks to the power of how food fuels us as
individuals, connects to us spiritually, and forges the bonds of
community."
―Marcus Samuelsson, chef and author of The Red Rooster Cookbook
"This book is a deep dive into soul food from a clear and fresh
perspective, one that feels familiar and approachable, creative and
craveable. Justin Sutherland beautifully demonstrates how food
connects us all, but also is an integral part of how we can seamlessly
celebrate our individuality together. I cannot wait to cook my way
through this book!"
―Brooke Williamson, chef and winner of Food Network's "Tournament of
Champions"
