JAMES BEARD AWARD NOMINEE • IACP AWARD FINALIST • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A fun, flavorful cookbook with more than 95 recipes and Power-Ups featuring chef Mason Hereford’s irreverent take on Southern food, from his awarding-winning New Orleans restaurant Turkey and the Wolf
 
“Mason and his team are everything the culinary world needs right now. This book is a testimony of living life to the most and being your true self!”—Matty Matheson

ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: Los Angeles Times, Saveur, NPR, Vice, Delish, Garden & Gun, Publishers Weekly

Mason Hereford grew up in rural Virginia, where his formative meals came at modest country stores and his family’s holiday table. After moving to New Orleans and working in fine dining he opened Turkey and the Wolf, which featured his larger-than-life interpretations of down-home dishes and created a nationwide sensation.

In Turkey and the Wolf, Hereford shares lively twists on beloved Southern dishes, like potato chip–loaded fried bologna sandwiches, deviled-egg tostadas with salsa macha, and his mom’s burnt tomato casserole. This cookbook is packed with nostalgic and indulgent recipes, original illustrations, and bad-ass photographs.
 
Filled with recipes designed to get big flavor out of laidback cooking, Turkey and the Wolf is a wild ride through the South, with food so good you’re gonna need some brand-new jeans.

Title: Fun & interesting recipes!
Review: I've been obsessed with Turkey and the Wolf since I read about them in Bon Appetit in 2017. I love their vibe and approach to food. When I saw a cookbook was going to be published, I knew I had to buy! The cookbook arrived last week and I was so excited to see recipes for dishes served at Turkey and the Wolf and Molly's Rise and Shine. I've been able to visit each place once during trips to New Orleans and I'm looking forward to trying some of the dishes I remember loving at home.I couldn't let too much time pass before attempting a recipe so I went for the Hot Tuna first. So good and has me pumped to keep exploring.You may be scrolling through reviews trying to figure out.. is this for me? is this a good gift for the foodie loved one in my life? My answer to you is, just go for it! From what I can tell most of these recipes aren't exactly challenging, but they are what I like to call a food project. Food project is when there are multiple recipes that all come together for 1 dish (ex: separate recipe for a dip and/or toppings that all go on 1 sandwich). These aren't your quick, 30-min week night meals. This is for your special Sunday meal or having a party and wanting to wow snacks.

Title: Your inner child + self will rejoice as you eat this food
Review: I have no connection to New Orleans, but it’s a city of tales and this cookbook is no different. The delayed release of Turkey and the Wolf’s book (due to falling off of the shipping container no less!) made me anticipate its arrival even more.Now that I have made some of the recipes and read the funny quips with the kitschy and jovial spirit, I can say it does not disappoint and was worth the wait. It’s gloriously strange in all of the right ways and is filled with Cajun, Creole, and family inspired recipes. 

The irreverent nature might admittedly not be for everyone (especially if you’re the pearl clutching variety…there are some curse words), but the good food contained within definitely is the universal connector. Some of the recipes contain very pedestrian ingredients straight from gas stations and corner shops, while others have more high brow applications, but they combine to create something unique and special that made me want to try them. 

I’ve already cooked, baked, and concocted an inordinate amount of the recipes in this book, including (and pictured) :

Colleen’s bagel bites
Don’t sleep on the carrot yogurt
Nini’s granola
Liz’s carrot marmalade
Grand slam McMuffin
The Bellair sandwich + bellair-style herb mayo
Beet butter + tahini on ice cream
Candied peanuts, Nutter Butters, and toasted coconut on ice creamCheez-Its and peanuts on ice cream
Crunk chunks
Dorito dust
Best try at Colleen’s onion dip
Pizza cream cheeseNate’s spicy chicken spices
Chicken salt
Shrettuce 
Gas-station bean dip
Gas-station tostadas 
Double decker boomtown upgrade
Cabbage patch
Coconut-chile dressing
Mom’s famous burnt tomatoes
Big zesty buttermilk dressing

All of my refined indulgent food fantasies came true with these recipes. The only thing missing from the pages is a scratch and sniff sticker with the pizza cream cheese or Thanksgiving foods. I did not smoke anything before, during, or after making these and I have no shame in admitting that I will be adding many to my regular cooking repertoire. Go ahead and try a few and “laissez les bon temps rouler” (let the good times roll).

Title: An AWESOME book
Review: I actually got this book at the actual Turkey & Wolf restaurant in New Orleans. I had become a big fan since making The Tomato after seeing it on Sandwiches of History. So when I went to the restaurant, I grabbed the book and started reading it in the hotel. One, it's just a GREAT book. It's one of the recipe books that is actually fun to just sit and read. Two, everything I've made is amazing. Such a fun and innovative take. My mom started reading my copy when visiting and got her own copy. And then I got one for my brother (who loves cooking) and he also loves it. An awesome cookbook for anybody who enjoys fun flavors and playing around in the kitchen.

Title: They got a gigglesnort out of me
Review: I saw this book on a Tiktok and thought it would give me some fun sandwich ideas. I decided to bring it w me while I flew to a wedding. I sat up at the front of the plane and cracked it open as soon as I got in my seat. People began to file into the plane and, as we all know, there’s some standing awkwardly while some of us are sitting awkwardly. But this author had me giggling over and over through each description of the recipes to the point that people kept asking what I was reading. I was an instant fan, and through my giggles and snorts (groan 🙄), was able to have a few people snap a picture of the cover so they could order a copy.The book is beautiful and thoughtful. I’m a good home cook, not great, and love trying new ideas. I normally just quickly read the ingredients and skim the process. I don’t like following recipes. But w this, it’s different. It’s smart and I immediately trusted his opinion. If he says get it from the store, do it. If he thinks you should take your time and make it w love from scratch-do that. And thank you for validating America’s love affair w ole Jimmy Dean.Just such a beautiful book from a quirky, funny man; albeit, group of people. He loves to give credit away and the sincerity is palpable. He needs to charge double and have his own show. He’s a find.Also, this is like the 7th review I’ve ever given anyone about anything. It’s just that great.Good on you!

Title:
Review: Ein Unikat der sandwichgeschichte aus den Südstaaten der USA. Einerseits die Gelassenheit des Sandwichladenbesitzers gepaart mit den unglaublich geschmackvollen Rezepten für ausgefallene Sandwiches. Graphisch und Text sehr gut umgesetzt. Da läuft einem das Wasser im Mund zusammen.
