An atmospheric memoir filled with marvelous tales about the joys of food, music, and life—seasoned with one hundred of Alexander Smalls's celebrated world-class recipes.
In Grace the Table, the father of southern revival cooking serves up a delectable combination of memoir and cookbook as he recounts his life's journey from his hometown of Spartanburg, South Carolina, to the cosmopolitan cities of Europe and into the homes and hearts of Manhattan's socialites and celebrities.
With an unabashed passion for food and a buoyant personality, Smalls recollects his grandparents' Low Country cooking, and the almost spiritual power of a panful of hot buttermilk biscuits with fresh butter and sorghum. "Food was wealth to us," Smalls writes, "the kitchen was Fort Knox, and I felt rich just opening the refrigerator." Leaving small-town South Carolina, Smalls would become a world-class opera singer, an odyssey that introduced a wealth of new tastes and led him to his ultimate calling: cooking. He feasted on Chinese takeout in New York, Steak au Poivre in Paris, Grilled Swordfish Rolls in Palermo—but everywhere he traveled, he carried with him the cuisine of the American South.
In this unique book, Smalls shares his stories, family photographs, and one hundred of his inspiring culinary creations—sumptuous feasts, perfect for long dinners with family and friends. Sweet Potato Waffles and Southern Fried Chicken, Stuffed Veal Chops and Seafood Puppies, Pan-Roasted Salmon and Chocolate Raspberry Bread Pudding. . . just six of the glorious treats invented during Smalls's adventures. A memoir sprinkled with recipes that are a delicious blend of traditional fare and international flair, Grace the Table will remind you of home no matter where you come from.
Combining a memoir and a cookbook, Alexander Smalls, owner of Manhattan's Cafe Beulah, fills the pages of Grace the Table: Stories and Cooking from My Southern Revival with down-home anecdotes and traditional recipes, some updated with piquant international influences (Citrus Chicken Strips with Puree of Sweet Potatoes and Roasted Garlic; Turnip, Parsnip, and White Bean Salad). Written with Hettie Jones, Smalls's book shares love of family, food, laughter and good times.
