rooted: A Modern Mississippian map to american home cooking

With Rooted, Mississippi chef Nick Wallace recasts the elemental ingredients of place - among them Delta dirt, open sea, autumn woodland, and country churchyard. Inspired by a host of voices and collaborators, he blends together these places and products in the shared spiritual roux of the American home-cooked meal - whatever form that home might take. Rooted ties the past and the future together through contemporary recipes and a culinary paradox that Wallace calls the “Modern Mississippian”.
