Hailed by national food media from Bon Appetit to the Food Network, Heather Earnhardt celebrates big food and big love at her Seattle cafe, The Wandering Goose. Earnhardt's cookbook serves up 130 recipes from a Southern "red dirt girl" whose feet have been firmly planted in the Pacific Northwest for the past 20 years.

Featuring over 100 Southern recipes alongside “heartwarming” anecdotes, this cookbook is “a celebration of Southern hospitality, local ingredients and good cooking” (Chef Emeril Lagasse).
 
When Heather Earnhardt opened her tiny, magical café, The Wandering Goose, in Seattle, she infused a little Southern comfort into the heart of a city that’s skies are often gray. Her specialty is biscuits, slathered with butter and homemade jam, piled high with fried chicken and bread-and-butter pickles, or country ham and an over-easy egg.
 
In Big Food Big Love, this “red-dirt girl” shares stories from her childhood in the South and 130 recipes that contain a satisfying mix of nostalgic and traditional Southern favorites. Served up with a side of Southern charm, this is genuinely good and unfussy food that’s meant to be eaten with family and friends.

Praise for Big Food Big Love

". . . look out, Portland. The Seattle culinary scene is ramping up. . . . at [The Wandering Goose], it's impossible to decide between The Original--tender, high-rising biscuits spread with butter and bright red strawberry jam--or those same biscuits stuffed with well-seasoned fried chicken and honey. The truth is, I got both, plus a foot-high piece of coconut cake, and they were all awesome." --Food & Wine magazine, 10/21/15

"With its hospitality and comfort food, The Wandering Goose is a cure-all for those with a hankering for Southern fare in Seattle." --Food Network

"Heather calls her Southern-inflected food messy and loud. Try cooking a meal out of the book--from a platter of crispy hush puppies fried in a cast-iron skillet to a towering layer cake oozing with coconut frosting--and then squeeze everyone you care for around your table. Boisterous conversation, laughter, and memory-making festivities will ensue. Big Food Big Love indeed." --Tom Douglas, Chef/Restaurateur

"Filled with heartwarming and personal stories, Heather Earnhardt expresses pride in her Southern roots through Big Food Big Love. Her recipes and witty stories are a celebration of Southern hospitality, local ingredients, and good cooking." --Chef Emeril Lagasse

"I've been lucky enough to know Heather from our early restaurant days in Seattle, and from day one her warmth impressed me. The Wandering Goose truly shines with hospitality and big, bold flavors, and the recipes are so approachable and delicious. Heather's book is playful, soulful, and generous--just like her!" --John Sundstrom, chef/owner of Lark

"Heather is not only an awesome baker but an awesome person as well. Her southern spirit really shines through in both the sweet and savory food she makes and the way she lives her life! Buy this book, you'll love it and her!"
--Ethan Stowell / Restaurateur
