Deep Run Roots de Vivian Howard

Deep Run Roots

Autor Vivian Howard
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 oct 2016

Găsim în această carte peste 200 de rețete și povești care transformă gastronomia rurală din Carolina de Nord într-un reper culinar internațional. Deep Run Roots nu este doar un manual de gătit, ci o cronică a supraviețuirii și creativității într-o comunitate marcată de recesiune, unde autoarea Vivian Howard a ales să ignore trendurile trecătoare pentru a se ancora în tradițiile locale. Structura volumului este una pragmatică și intuitivă, fiind organizată în funcție de ingrediente — de la cartoful dulce și bame la fructe de mare și carne de porc — oferind soluții atât pentru începători, cât și pentru bucătarii experimentați care doresc să recreeze preparate complexe din restaurantul său, Chef and the Farmer. Notăm cu interes modul în care volumul îmbină rigoarea tehnică (fiecare rețetă beneficiază de o ilustrare fotografică proprie) cu narativul personal. Complementar lui This Will Make It Taste Good, unde aceeași Vivian Howard se concentrează pe scurtături ingenioase și ingrediente de bază din cămară pentru mese rapide, Deep Run Roots explorează profunzimea rădăcinilor culturale și tehnici de conservare care necesită răbdare și respect față de pământ. În comparație cu The Southerner's Cookbook, care oferă o privire de ansamblu asupra întregului Sud american, lucrarea de față se remarcă printr-o focalizare aproape microscopică asupra unei singure regiuni, demonstrând că specificul local are o valoare universală. Descoperim aici un ritm narativ cald, specific unei povești de familie, dar susținut de o expertiză premiată cu patru distincții IACP. De la rețete reconfortante precum puiul cu orez, până la inovații îndrăznețe ca înghețata de tip „ranch” cu bame în tempura, cartea redefinește bucătăria „country” americană, ridicând-o la rang de artă culinară documentată cu o onestitate rară.

Recenzii

"Howard's book is a big, gorgeous example of an approach to food that gets to the heart of the recent love-fest for southern cooking. Farm to table is the real deal here, and Howard organized Deep Run Roots the way she determined the menu for her restaurant, Chef and the Farmer-by ingredient-in order to focus on what is fresh and local throughout the year."—Omnivoracious

"[Vivian's] warm banana pudding is a dream come true."—Bon Appetit
"The book reads like a memoir, with lengthy and lush descriptions of Howard's hometown thoughts...I was prepared to pick this book based on the story... alone.... Certifiably delicious... [and] Howard's voice is folksy and endearing, and I loved her stories about her family and the Piggly Wiggly-and I wanted very badly for her to be cooking instead of me.... Gorgeously photographed, with [an] encouraging, warm voice, and scores of enticing recipes."—Emma Straub, Food52

"Chef and television star Vivian Howard can now add cookbook author to her impressive resume. Deep Run Roots focuses on her brand of Southern food and country cooking, both from her home and from her acclaimed Kinston, NC restaurant, Chef and the Farmer.

There are over 200 recipes and, remarkably, each has a photo."—Hillary Dixler, Eater

"You won't find a fried chicken recipe anywhere in [Deep Run Roots'] 570 pages...Vivian has the opportunity to redefine the cuisine of her region."—Vice Munchies

For 10 years, [Vivian's] honesty and authenticity have been on display at her restaurants and on TV. Her new book shows them off, too."—The Washington Post
"In this outstanding debut... fans of Southern cooking will find plenty of catfish, corn cakes, cast-iron skillet dishes, and cooking-with-Grandma stories--but it's not all biscuits and gravy... Going beyond the glories of grits, Howard's text is storytelling at its best, rich in mouthwatering detail and reminiscences... This tribute to her family roots is destined to become an enduring classic."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A standout collection of regional Southern foods, both simple and restaurant-worthy."—Library Journal

Descriere

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

 
WINNER OF AN ASTONISHING FOUR IACP AWARDS, INCLUDING COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR AND THE JULIA CHILD FIRST BOOK AWARD
 
Vivian Howard, star of PBS's A CHEF'S LIFE, celebrates the flavors of North Carolina's coastal plain in more than 200 recipes and stories.

This new classic of American country cooking proves that the food of Deep Run, North Carolina--Vivian's home--is as rich as any culinary tradition in the world.
 
Organized by ingredient with dishes suited to every skill level--from beginners to confident cooks--DEEP RUN ROOTS features time-honored simple preparations alongside extraordinary meals from her acclaimed restaurant Chef and the Farmer. Home cooks will find photographs for every single recipe.
 
As much a storybook as it is a cookbook, DEEP RUN ROOTS imparts the true tale of Southern food: rooted in family and tradition, yet calling out to the rest of the world.
 
Ten years ago, Vivian opened Chef and the Farmer and put the nearby town of Kinston on the culinary map. But in a town paralyzed by recession, she couldn't hop on every new culinary trend. Instead, she focused on rural development: If you grew it, she'd buy it. Inundated by local sweet potatoes, blueberries, shrimp, pork, and beans, Vivian learned to cook the way generations of Southerners before her had, relying on resourcefulness, creativity, and the traditional ways of preserving food.
 
DEEP RUN ROOTS is the result of years of effort to discover the riches of Eastern North Carolina. Like The Fannie Farmer Cookbook, The Art of Simple Food, and The Taste of Country Cooking before it, this is landmark work of American food writing.
 
Recipes include:
  • Family favorites like Blueberry BBQ Chicken, Creamed Collard-Stuffed Potatoes, Fried Yams with Five-Spice Maple Bacon Candy, Chicken and Rice, and Country-Style Pork Ribs in Red Curry-Braised Watermelon,
  • Crowd-pleasers like Butterbean Hummus, Tempura-Fried Okra with Ranch Ice Cream, Pimiento Cheese Grits with Salsa and Pork Rinds, Cool Cucumber Crab Dip, and Oyster Pie,
  • Show-stopping desserts like Warm Banana Pudding, Peaches and Cream Cake, Spreadable Cheesecake, and Pecan-Chewy Pie,
  • And 200 more quick breakfasts, weeknight dinners, holiday centerpieces, seasonal preserves, and traditional preparations for all kinds of cooks.
