Adrienne Cheatham Bücher

From Top Chef finalist Adrienne Cheatham, discover 100 recipes that bring the joy of home cooking and family meals to any day of the week. With a career spanning prestigious restaurants like Le Bernardin and Red Rooster, Cheatham became a Top Chef finalist and launched the popular pop-up series, SundayBest. This book is inspired by the tradition of dressing in "Sunday best," a practice in the Black community that symbolizes respect and dignity, especially during segregation. Cheatham's debut collection reflects on the importance of celebrating everyday moments with loved ones, drawing from her family's Sunday suppers and cherished childhood dishes. The recipes are infused with deep familial comfort and feature multicultural influences, offering elevated yet accessible options. Highlights include a feast-worthy pork roast with a pecan crust, seared green beans in hot-honey butter, skirt steak with mustard green pesto, and roasted sweet potatoes with nutty tahini dressing. Cheatham provides tips for transforming store-bought items and basic staples into standout dishes, like a deeply flavored roasted chicken marinated in stout and soy sauce, or a split pea salad enhanced with a bacon-sherry vinegar glaze. No matter the day, this collection encourages you to make every meal a celebration.
