Isaac Hayes Cooking with Heart and Soul Cookbook

Additional Details

Description: Long before Isaac Hayes became the voice of Chef on the popular and irreverent television cartoon show South Park, he was a food lover. His fondest and most enduring memories are those associated with his boyhood, when he helped his grandmother prepare traditional southern soul food in the kitchen of their rural Tennessee home. Before he became an Academy Award-winning composer, he was a short-order cook serving up burgers and fries in a Memphis diner. And at some point in a career that has spanned more than four decades, he was a single father cooking for five children and sharing recipes with family, friends, and professional chefs. The commercial successes in music, movies, television, and radio came and went and came again -- but always there was the love of food. 

Cooking with Heart and Soul is pure Isaac Hayes -- one part hot buttered soul, one part chocolate salty balls, and a big helping of comfort. It's a mix of traditional home cooking and healthy eating with a touch of the gourmet -- and lots of stories from a life lived to the fullest. 

This rare collection of recipes and reminiscences reveals Isaac's passionate and eclectic interests from soul music and soul food to superstars and super nutrients. It is as inspiring as a riff from the theme from Shaft and as satisfying as his Mama's Fried Cream Corn recipe.
