Big Food Big Love: Down-Home Southern Cooking Full of Heart from Seattle’s Wandering Goose

Featuring over 100 Southern recipes alongside ＂heartwarming＂ anecdotes, this cookbook is ＂a celebration of Southern hospitality, local ingredients and good cooking＂ (Chef Emeril Lagasse).

When Heather Earnhardt opened her tiny, magical café, The Wandering Goose, in Seattle, she infused a little Southern comfort into the heart of a city that’s skies are often gray. Her specialty is biscuits, slathered with butter and homemade jam, piled high with fried chicken and bread-and-butter pickles, or country ham and an over-easy egg.

In Big Food Big Love, this ＂red-dirt girl＂ shares stories from her childhood in the South and 130 recipes that contain a satisfying mix of nostalgic and traditional Southern favorites. Served up with a side of Southern charm, this is genuinely good and unfussy food that’s meant to be eaten with family and friends.

Born in North Carolina, Heather Earnhardt grew up with thick red dirt on her toes and food, food, and more food. Heather owns The Wandering Goose café and lives in Seattle with her husband and five children.
