“This collection of the home-style Southern dishes Jones prepares at his Queens, NY restaurant brims with familiar favorites.” —Publishers Weekly
Selected for inclusion in Food & Wine’s Best of the Best cookbook 2005
Peppered with stories and memories of his Augusta, Georgia, upbringing, Supper at Richard’s Place: Recipes from the New Southern Table reflects the soulful and homey atmosphere of this Queens-based restaurant. Chef Richard Jones’ love for authentic Southern food, which he calls “the original fusion cuisine,” is palpable here in nearly 150 recipes ideal for anyone with a desire for down-home cooking.
From grilled black-eyed-pea patties to potato salad, Southern fried chicken to collard greens, pecan catfish to crabmeat dumplings, Chef Jones has created a collection of authentic Southern recipes—some familiar, others updated and reconsidered to reflect both New York’s diverse influences and the country’s dietary trends—that is sure to delight anyone, anywhere, with a taste for soulful food.
The inclusion of recipes for breads and biscuits like Crusty Skillet Corn Bread and Sweet Potato Bread is a refreshing nod to homestyle cooking in this era of carbohydrate restraint, and his chapter on sauces, salsas, relishes and dressings includes some Southern surprises, like watermelon salsa. Chef Jones culminates the collection with his own special recipe for the Southern classic, Red Velvet Cake, among ten savory and simple desserts. Supper at Richard’s Place: Recipes from the New Southern Table will appeal to anyone craving fool-proof, kitchen-tested comfort food.
