Beloved TV chef (ABC’s Emmy Award-winning The Chew and fan favorite on Bravo’s Top Chef), Carla Hall takes us back to her own Nashville roots to offer a fresh, lip-smackin’ look at America’s favorite comfort cuisine.

In Carla Hall’s Soul Food, the beloved chef and television celebrity takes us back to her own Nashville roots to offer a fresh, lip-smackin’ look at America’s favorite comfort cuisine and traces soul food’s history from Africa and the Caribbean to the American South. Carla shows us that soul food is more than barbecue and mac and cheese. Traditionally a plant-based cuisine, everyday soul food is full of veggie goodness that’s just as delicious as cornbread and fried chicken.

From Black-Eyed Pea Salad with Hot Sauce Vinaigrette to Tomato Pie with Garlic Bread Crust, the recipes in Carla Hall’s Soul Food deliver her distinctive Southern flavors using farm-fresh ingredients. The results are light, healthy, seasonal dishes with big, satisfying tastes—the mouthwatering soul food everyone will want a taste of.

Recipes include:

  • Cracked Shrimp with Comeback Sauce
  • Ghanaian Peanut Beef Stew with Onions and Celery
  • Caribbean Smothered Chicken with Coconut, Lime, and Chiles
  • Roasted Cauliflower with Raisins and Lemon-Pepper Millet
  • Field Peas with Country Ham
  • Chunky Tomato Soup with Roasted Okra Rounds
  • Sweet Potato Pudding with Clementines
  • Poured Caramel Cake

With Carla Hall’s Soul Food, you can indulge in rich celebration foods, such as deviled eggs, buttermilk biscuits, Carla’s famous take on Nashville hot fried chicken, and a decadent coconut cream layer cake.

Featuring 145 original recipes, 120 color photographs, and a whole lotta love, Carla Hall’s Soul Food is a wonderful blend of the modern and the traditional—honoring soul food’s heritage and personalizing it with Carla’s signature fresh style. The result is an irresistible and open-hearted collection of recipes and stories that share love and joy, identity, and memory.

Review

“Carla’s newest cookbook is a sparkling collection that reveals layers of her personality, heritage, mission and deep centeredness in the African American culinary tradition while reflecting the dynamism, diversity and improvisational genius that tradition inspires. This is a new classic.” — Michael Twitty

“It’s no secret how much Carla Hall loves food. Her passion to share, her knowledge of tradition, and her palpable excitement have been witnessed by millions everywhere. Here she translates that energy into a beautiful book where love and soul ooze off the pages. I can’t wait to cook these recipes for my family.” — Chrissy Teigen

CARLA HALL

Carla Hall is a co-host of ABC’s Emmy award winning, popular lifestyle series “The Chew,” seated alongside restaurateur and “Iron Chef America” star Michael Symon, and entertaining expert Clinton Kelly. Hall is best known as a competitor on Bravo’s “Top Chef” and “Top Chef: All Stars”, where she won over audiences with her fun catch phrase, “Hootie Hoo” and her philosophy to always cook with love. Carla’s approach to cooking blends her classic French training and Southern upbringing for a twist on traditional favorites. She is committed to health and balance in everyday living. Her cookbooks are “Carla’s Comfort Food: Favorite Dishes from Around the World” and “Cooking with Love: Comfort Food That Hugs You”. Her third book, "CARLA HALL’S SOUL FOOD: Everyday and Celebration” will be released October 23, 2018

A native of Nashville, TN, Hall received a degree in Accounting from Howard University, but traveling through Europe awakened her passion for food and inspired a new career path. She attended L’Academie de Cuisine in Maryland where she completed her culinary training, going on to work as a Sous Chef at the Henley Park Hotel in Washington, DC. She also served as Executive Chef at both The State Plaza Hotel and The Washington Club, and has taught classes at CulinAerie, Sur la Table and her alma mater, L’Academie de Cuisine. Hall is a true believer that, “If you’re not in a good mood, the only thing you should make is a reservation.”

Carla is also active with a number of charities and not-for-profit organizations that reflect her passion for causes close to her heart. She serves as a Board Member for the Pajama Program and GenYouth. Carla also actively works with Chef Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen Chef Network, DC Central Kitchen, The USO, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Feeding America, Women Chefs and Restaurateurs (WCR), and she serves on the advisory boards for the Edible Academy for the New York Botanical Gardens and for the Food and Finance High School in New York City. Carla is also a member of the James Beard Foundation’s Women's Leadership Advisory Committee and is the Culinary Ambassador for Sweet Home Cafe at the Smithsonian National Museum for African American History and Culture in Washington, DC. She lives in D.C. with her husband, Matthew Lyons.

In this cookbook, there are some really good recipes that modernize Black American cuisine. While many of the recipes seem a bit complicated for beginners, if you are comfortable in the kitchen you should be fine. I love how health-conscious Hall is. For someone like me, who LOVES African-American cuisine but is also a gym rat, this is a great addition to my cookbook collection.

Carla has hit the ball out of the park with this cookbook. It's like having your Grandma's favorite recipes written down in detail and kicked up a notch! The exotic seasonings she recommends make simple recipes gourmet. Comfort food made healthy. Quick and easy to cook during the weekdays. Thanks, Carla loved the stories that went along with the dishes. Loved hearing about the people you met and cooked with. And I really enjoyed you taking me with me on your travels through this book! Great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheer Perfection!
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2020

Wish I would have discovered it sooner! But perfect for my recent transition to a plant based diet. Just made the Seared Summer Squash w/ Sage; it is so delicious and perfect that I was moved to immediately create this review. Made the Mixed Greens w/Smoked Trout Pot Likker yesterday, what a cool and creative and yummily healthy twist on collards. Going to try the Black-Eyed Pea Hummus tomorrow. This is a special cookbook, it’s intelligent and creative with tons of intelligent and creative recipes. I need to also add that I greatly appreciate the concept of “celebration dishes” as dishes reserved for holidays, gatherings, and parties. So thankful for this cookbook.

I loved Carla Hall ever since she was a contestant on Top Chef. She was always gracious and funny. I have enjoyed watching her on TV. I had purchased the cookbook because it was Carla's and I'm glad I did. Almost every recipe comes with a small story, every recipe looks so delicious, I love the pictures and everything looks so easy to cook. I love that I don't have to buy any fancy ingredients our equipment, the recipes are just good soul food. Thank you Carla for a wonderful cookbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great recipes and expert guidance from a kind hearted chef
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2018

Carla writes like a dream and cooks like a true southerner - yet elevated. I’ve already made 3 recipes from this book and I’ve had it one day.
These recipes are easy to follow, simple ingredients that you can get anywhere and yet they aren’t plain - these are special texture combinations with balanced flavors.
The other great thing about this book is that it has so much of Carla in it - it’s like she’s rooting for you to make a great meal and also to be the best cook that you can be.
Pure intent - it’s exactly what I needed today.

This is more than a cookbook- it's a love letter. The storytelling of the origins of the recipe's in the cookbook and how they've weaved in and out of Carla's life was magical. The book is set up in a way that makes creating a full menu for a simple dinner or a party very easy. The recipes themselves are delicious and easy to follow. This is already a cherished cookbook.

I love Carla. She is gorgeous and so talented.
For me her book I felt is more for a beginner cook. It’s very informative and lots of interesting recipes but for me I think I would have loved some more complex recipes.
Great book for chefs that aren’t as seasoned as I am.
