Paying homage to his grandmother, Carter’s debut cookbook, The Hachland Hill Cookbook: The Recipes and Legacy of Phila Hach, shares the many stories and recipes that shaped the life of a legendary Southern cook, author, and television personality.
Hach brings his grandmother’s recipes, many of which are tried-and-true classics, into the modern day by adding his own unique take and fresh spin. Woven between recipes for hoecakes, egg salad toast, old fashioned tea cakes, and fried chicken are essays on Phila’s many life accomplishments—from her years traveling the world as a flight attendant to being the first woman to host a television show in the South to cooking for the United Nations to running her beloved Hachland Hill Inn. Written to tell and preserve Phila Hach’s legacy as a pioneering woman in the culinary arts, The Hachland Hill Cookbook captures an essential history while sharing the joy of Phila’s cooking with a whole new audience.

A propos de l’auteur
Carter Hach is the executive chef at Hachland Hill, a dining inn and 80 acre retreat center that dates back generations in his family. He grew up cooking with his grandmother, the legendary Chef Phila Hach, and wrote his first recipe for chocolate nut drop cookies before he could actually spell the word, “recipe”. Carter attended the University of Mississippi and traveled around the world by ship, fueling his passions for writing and fusion cooking. All of Hach’s food is made from scratch and he uses only the best local ingredients from nearby farms located within 30 miles of Hachland Hill, which many say is Nashville’s best kept secret.
