As an early pioneer in the farm-to-fork movement, Chef Sonoskus has been creating delicious dishes at the Tupelo Honey Cafe in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, since it first opened in 2000. This cookbook collection of more than 125 innovative riffs on Southern favorites is illustrated with four-color photographs of the food, restaurant, locals, farmers' markets, and farms.

A recipe collection celebrating the culinary traditions of the American South, featuring appetizers and beverages from the menu of Tupelo Honey restaurant. The South loves to drink; this is no revelation. But understanding the rich traditions behind why southerners drink, what they drink, and when they drink is critical to learning the art and fashion of southern imbibing. They certainly know their spirits, artisanal distilleries, and prolific craft breweries, and at Tupelo Honey Cafe and Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar’s fifteen locations, the staff is committed to sourcing the best ingredients to make some of the tastiest cocktails and small plates south of the Mason Dixon Line. In Tupelo Honey’s latest cookbook, seventy unique cocktail and thirty delicious small plate recipes are organized around popular themes, such as Friendly Competition, The Roots of Southern Music, Southern Festivals, Southern Drinking Celebrations, Iconic Southern Food and Drink, and Simple, Everyday Life. Some of the playful cocktail names in this book may give you pause, but once you try them, your taste buds will smile. Among the made-from-scratch cocktails and small plates perfect for two or twenty are Violet Beaureguard, Tar Heel Gin Fiz, Rubbin' is Racin' Peach Moonshine-Sweet Tea, Johnny Cakes with BBQ Pulled Pork and Corn-Jalapeño Slaw, Goat Cheese Deviled Eggs with Country Ham Prosciutto, and Don't Judge My Okra Obsession.

It was May 2018 when I took the leap of becoming a beekeeper. I started with a Mason Jar hive (a beginners hive) soon after I expanded my ideas and purchased a Flow Hive. My dad built stands and set up the Flow Hives as a way to stay busy. My bees arrived, and with some help, they became established; so much so that we needed a second Flow Hive to keep them comfortable.All was going well until 5 months later. On October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael crashed ashore in my town of Mexico Beach, Florida. Although dad and I live 6 miles inland, the storm was so strong that it affected people hundreds of miles from the shore. My hives were knocked off there stands, beaten, and battered... but my bees survived. I carefully reset the hives, prayed over the bees, and let them re-establish their colony.They encountered a hurricane, mites, and needed me to feed them after all the trees and blossoms were gone... and they still survived.In May of 2019, 7 months after the hurricane, my bees produced honey! I've learned that in the bee business you must ask for help because there was so much that I didn't, and still don't, know. I'm learning every day. I've had many beekeepers help me along the way, and I've made just about every mistake you can make. I think the bees are alive by the pure miracle of God and prayer. They are survivors. "Ground Zero Survivors."This is why I call it Hurricane Michael Ground Zero Survivor Honey.
