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.
