"Two cultures steeped in farming find rich common ground in this captivating tribute from chef Scott."?--Publishers Weekly, starred review
-Michael Twitty, author, culinary historian, and educator
"There's so much heart in Homage that it stopped me in my tracks. Sure, the book's got excellent recipes--who can resist the succulent poetry of Whoopie Pies and Dandelion Wine, Yam Molasses and Okra Chow-Chow, Pan-Seared Chicken Livers and Crispy Fried Tomatoes? But Chris Scott goes deep beyond cooking in the spirit of honoring his ancestors, guiding his four children, and telling a uniquely American story. You can sense that spirit glowing from every page: Homage is an instant classic."
-Jeff Gordinier, author of Hungry
"If a dish could hold a whole a generational, cultural culinary history, you would find it in Homage. A family's Black heritage in a book of recipes flavored by a unique Amish tradition. Homage is about perseverance and evolution, and stories that serve the life, artistry, and devotion of Chris Scott on a plate. Here is food born of love, life, a family's faith, and a coming of age. Because just when you thought you knew what soul food was, think again: be truly amazed, satiated, and transported."
-Alexander Smalls, chef, restauranteur, author, opera singer, and social minister
"Having the privilege of cooking alongside Chris Scott, I can assure you that his food and his writing are passionate and soulful, and utterly important. Homage is a must-have and a must-read."
-Mike Solomonov, James Beard Award winning chef and cookbook author
"Chris Scott is the real deal. His food is an authentic extension of his heritage and his training. He is a student of cuisine, bringing creativity and innovation to traditional flavors to make them insanely delicious."
-Tanya Holland, chef, restaurateur, podcast host, and cookbook author
