Homage

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is an interesting book!

Chris Scott shares his history through food pulling recipes from his unique blend of family. He shares stories about his family as well as the history of food throughout the book as well as recipes.

I was hoping for more pictures of the food since that's something I like in recipe books, but there's a lot of interesting history in this book. There's a nice variety of recipes as well! I'd never heard of chow-chow before or the history behind chicken and waffles.

Overall a nice find!

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. Interesting book. There is a lot about the author's family history, it seemed to read more like a biography than a cookbook. There was some interesting recipes in there that I am looking forward to trying. I also loved that the recipes looked pretty easy to make.

This is a really powerful addition to the body of cookbooks by Black cooks, with great recipes and in depth history of the region, the food, the people, and the author's personal history. Beautiful photos accompany some recipes but not all. No nutritional information is provided. Recommended.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

What a stellar read. Family stories, family photos, handwritten recipes…a gorgeous microcosm of comfort food recipes for one family. I loved every delicious minute I got to spend with this book, and I learned so much on every page.

This is a fantastic cookbook full of delicious Amish soul food and interesting family stories! The recipes are flavorful and the food photography is beautiful.

A cookbook mixed with a memoir. Very interesting to read and see how the different recipes connected to his life. Interesting to learn about a cuisine I have not experienced much before ( or at all) and found many recipes to add to my rotation. Beautiful photos too.

So much more than a cookbook. I'm so appreciative of Chris Scott sharing his deep and meaningful family background and how (through painful life moments) important food is to Black and Brown culture within the States. The recipes are beautiful and new. A unique story through food a simple and well-designed book that will be an important resource to continually go back to.

Thank you.

A different take on your typical cookbook. There were a lot of beautiful artistic photos of the food along with personal photos from the author which was a wonderful touch. The author shares his family legacy and history throughout the cookbook along with many family recipes. There were many new to me foods featured in this cookbook which was fun to learn about.
My downside for this book was it felt more like a personal history more than a cookbook or perhaps a bit like looking up a recipe online and having to scroll through pages to get to it. Not that the authors history isn't fascinating but made it feel less like a cookbook. But it's a cookbook for a different generation than your typical cookbook.
I recommend this book to southern food lovers who also love history.

Thank you Net Galley for a copy of Homage by Chris Scott. This book was like going back in time for the author to his family. Makes me wonder what a book would look like with my History with my Grandma. What a beautiful book!

Homage speaks to history, food, and family. This book brings aspects of several cultures and how food and feeding people is not unique but is just another example of how we are the same in a most basic way. With that said there are several recipes where you see many influences including the Amish one mentioned where the author puts his unique twists.

Just when you thought you had seen the best of fried chicken recipes, he provides us with Lemonade Buttermilk Fried Chicken.

If are looking for sides and condiments that compliment the author brings such variety you can easily find a recipe that will go with your main courses.

The recipes are easy to follow and there are many pictures showing the delicious result.

This cookbook was fantastic. I will definitely be adding it to my library. I loved the history mixed with the photos and recipes. I never thought about the similarities between us African Americans and the Amish

A special fusion cookbook. It is rooted in heritage and stories told and heard by a young man thankful for the time spent with women who cared about what was on the table. The language is lyrical and the recipes inventive. A tribute to the past while making use of modern ingredients. It was a pleasure to read and a joy to experience.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I didn't think I would like this cookbook but wanted to take a look after seeing Chris Scott on Top Chef. I plan to try his apple butter recipe, as I can't find it in stores very often as well as several other recipes, and I plan to buy a copy for myself. These recipes look super easy to make. It's a beautiful cookbook.

This cookbook is beautiful. It’s more than just a cookbook it is a story of history, family, food, and legacy.

Two cultures in one space that brings shared recipes that come together to create this beautiful experience. The recipes are full, you can bring an entire meal to your family’s table with few selections from this book, whether it is a Wednesday night or a holiday dinner.

A beautiful story. Beautiful food. Beautiful pictures.

Apples are in season I’m definitely going to make the apple butter to slather over the brown auger buttermilk biscuits.
