Northern Soul: Southern-Inspired Home Cooking from a Northern Kitchen: A Cookbook

Northern Soul presents over 90 recipes from Justin Sutherland, a Top Chef competitor and restaurateur with multiple Twin Cities restaurants. The cookbook explores Southern-inspired home cooking with Northern influences, drawing from Sutherland's upbringing in the Northern Midwest and the South, as well as his African-American and Asian heritage. The collection includes recipes for lunch, brunch, dinner, snacks, late-night meals, and cocktails. Dishes range from Chicken and Waffles and Creole Jambalaya to Bourbon Pecan Pie with Maple Whip and Hot Mac and Cheese, alongside spice blends, sauces, rubs, and pickles. Each recipe demonstrates how to prepare traditional Southern cooking with a Northern approach in a home kitchen. Sutherland has appeared on Iron Chef, competed on Season 16 of Top Chef, and is featured on Fast Foodies and Taste the Culture, both airing on TruTV/TBS.
