Named a Best Cookbook of the Year by the Los Angeles Times, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Rachael Ray Every Day, and Fine Cooking
A Game-Changing Chef Redefines a Classic American Cuisine
In his debut cookbook, chef Matt Jennings honors the iconic foods of his heritage and celebrates the fresh ingredients that have come to define his renowned, inventive approach to cooking. With four James Beard Award nominations for Best Chef: Northeast, three Cochon 555 wins, and a spot on Food & Wine’s 40 Big Food Thinkers 40 and Under list, Jennings is a culinary innovator known for his unexpected uses of traditional northern ingredients (maple syrup glazes a roasted duck; a molasses and cider barbecue sauce makes the perfect accompaniment to grilled chicken wings; carbonara takes on a northern slant with the addition of razor clams). With over 100 vibrant, ingredient-driven recipes—including modern spins on New England staples like clam chowder, brown bread, and Boston cream whoopie pies, as well as beloved dishes from Jennings’s award-winning restaurant, Townsman—Homegrown shines a spotlight on a trailblazing chef and pays homage to America’s oldest cuisine.

Starred review from September 15, 2017
Jennings's host of accolades includes four James Beard Award nominations for Best Chef: Northeast. His debut cookbook is a treasury of ingenious takes on New England and American classics, with some challenging but most well within reach. Gorgeous, flavorful dishes (e.g., sweet pea and ricotta pancakes, little gem salad with cheddar vinaigrette and pistachio granola, butter-roasted chicken with Asian pears and winter greens) all inventively incorporate accompaniments or garnishes. Desserts aren't an afterthought either--treats such as Boston cream whoopie pies, blueberry cobbler bars with grilled lemon curd, and roasted strawberries with elderflower liqueur will end meals on a high note. VERDICT Jennings's exciting recipes will inspire readers to get more creative with their cooking. They'll also attract fans of Barton Seaver's cookbooks.
