Atlanta Chef Todd Richards Releases First Cookbook, ‘Soul’

In his restaurants and in his cuisine, Chef Todd Richards preaches the gospel of Soul Food in the global South.

Now, the James Beard Award-nominated Chef is out with his first cookbook, called “Soul: A Chef’s Culinary Evolution in 150 Recipes.”

In an interview on “City Lights,” Richards said that to call something Soul Food, it must meet three conditions: “a celebration of family, a celebration of culture, and it’s required to be delicious.”
