Cookbooks
From the restaurateur and television personality Alex Hitz
comes this cookbook of more than 175 all-time favorite
Southern dishes. In My Beverly Hills Kitchen, Hitz
blends the home cooking of his mother’s Atlanta kitchen with
lessons he learned from some of the world’s great chefs and
hosts to come up with classic, satisfying comfort food.
These step-by-step recipes are so clear that anyone can
do them. Hitz shows you how to prepare a meal for two or
twenty and that quality is achievable on any budget. He
reimagines best-loved dishes and adds that little something
extra to make them more delicious than you ever dreamed
possible. The twelve chapters include such signature recipes
as Sweet Potato Vichyssoise, Cold Pea Soup with Mint,
Scrambled Eggs with Caviar, Dorothy’s Baked Cheddar Grits,
Millionaire’s Macaroni and Cheese, Salmon Pot Pie, Perfect
Roast Tenderloin of Beef, Dorothy’s Fried Chicken, Salted
Caramel Cake, Apple Pear Crumble, and Molten Chocolate Cake
with Bourbon Whipped Cream. There are also recipes and
stories from Hitz’s famous friends who were known for their
simple but fantastic food—Bill Blass’s Sour Cream Soufflé,
Nan Kempner’s Bacon Sticks, Connie Wald’s Penne with Vodka
Sauce, and Betsy Bloomingdale’s Peach Ice Cream.
Hitz suggests perfect menus for every season and will
show you how to make every day a special occasion. He shares
his secrets about entertaining, ingredients, and cookware
that guarantee the best results and will make a difference
as you become a great chef and host on your own.
Comfort food has never been this irresistible—or easy.
