Fried Chicken & Friends: The Hartsyard Family Cookbook

Fried Chicken and Friends cookbook

From the owners of Hartsyard, a restaurant with a cult following in Sydney, Australia, comes a book of 100 recipes for “dude food that’s not dumb.” It’s American Southern-style cooking at its best, perfected by Gregory Llewellyn, a New York chef who moved around the United States honing his skills, then helped open fourteen restaurants along the East Coast before following his Australian wife, Naomi Hart, to Sydney. These restaurateurs believe in “leaf to root, nose to tail” cuisine—using the entire food source—and they practice back-to-the-land food production in their culinary adventures. Under these principles, the recipes in Fried Chicken & Friends are surely the most flavorful dishes in both hemispheres.

Good food makes good memories. It should be savored and shared in fine company. ~Hartsyard motto

Dee {Cooks&Books&Recipes}:

Y’all know I love fried chicken. So the Hartsyard Family Cookbook‘s three-days-in-the-making recipe for fried chicken is absolutely at the top of my list. But there’s much more to this cookbook. As in seafood–these recipes come from a restaurant in Australia, after all. A case in point is our featured recipe: Crab Louie (online tomorrow!), the most perfectly easy and perfectly elegant summer dish.
