Turkey and the Wolf: Flavor Trippin' in New Orleans [A Cookbook] Kindle Edition

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 454 ratings

JAMES BEARD AWARD NOMINEE • IACP AWARD FINALIST • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A fun, flavorful cookbook with more than 95 recipes and Power-Ups featuring chef Mason Hereford’s irreverent take on Southern food, from his awarding-winning New Orleans restaurant Turkey and the Wolf
 
“Mason and his team are everything the culinary world needs right now. This book is a testimony of living life to the most and being your true self!”—Matty Matheson

ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: Los Angeles Times, Saveur, NPR, Vice, Delish, Garden & Gun, Publishers Weekly

Mason Hereford grew up in rural Virginia, where his formative meals came at modest country stores and his family’s holiday table. After moving to New Orleans and working in fine dining he opened Turkey and the Wolf, which featured his larger-than-life interpretations of down-home dishes and created a nationwide sensation.

In
Turkey and the Wolf, Hereford shares lively twists on beloved Southern dishes, like potato chip–loaded fried bologna sandwiches, deviled-egg tostadas with salsa macha, and his mom’s burnt tomato casserole. This cookbook is packed with nostalgic and indulgent recipes, original illustrations, and bad-ass photographs.
 
Filled with recipes designed to get big flavor out of laidback cooking,
Turkey and the Wolf is a wild ride through the South, with food so good you’re gonna need some brand-new jeans.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Turkey and the Wolf is a Triple-D joint that’s as funky and off the hook as any place I’ve been. As creative and delicious as it is fun, this book delivers on bringin’ their New Orleans energy home, and will keep ya howlin’ for more.”—Guy Fieri

“Welcome to the Turkey and the Wolf universe—the family, friends, food, and fun that make Mason Hereford’s restaurants so special. I’m as delighted by the photography and stories as I am to see all the recipes for the food I’ve enjoyed eating over the years.”
—Nina Compton

“Southern food gets a kick in the pants in this exuberant and irreverent debut, a collection of high/low recipes from Hereford, whose buzzy New Orleans restaurant gives the book its title. . . . The recipes are blazing and the tone delightfully profane, making this perfect for anyone ready to check their pretensions and get a little messy.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

    I bought this cookbook after visiting the restaurant. It's a fun and irreverent look at Southern-truck stop cooking. Since I don't eat wheat, dairy, sugar, processed foods or pork, I probably wouldn't prepare this stuff without lots of modifications but I enjoyed the pictures and the stories.

    I have no connection to New Orleans, but it’s a city of tales and this cookbook is no different. The delayed release of Turkey and the Wolf’s book (due to falling off of the shipping container no less!) made me anticipate its arrival even more.

    Now that I have made some of the recipes and read the funny quips with the kitschy and jovial spirit, I can say it does not disappoint and was worth the wait. It’s gloriously strange in all of the right ways and is filled with Cajun, Creole, and family inspired recipes. 



    The irreverent nature might admittedly not be for everyone (especially if you’re the pearl clutching variety…there are some curse words), but the good food contained within definitely is the universal connector. Some of the recipes contain very pedestrian ingredients straight from gas stations and corner shops, while others have more high brow applications, but they combine to create something unique and special that made me want to try them. 



    I’ve already cooked, baked, and concocted an inordinate amount of the recipes in this book, including (and pictured) :


    Colleen’s bagel bites

    Don’t sleep on the carrot yogurt
    
Nini’s granola
    
Liz’s carrot marmalade

    Grand slam McMuffin
    
The Bellair sandwich + bellair-style herb mayo

    Beet butter + tahini on ice cream

    Candied peanuts, Nutter Butters, and toasted coconut on ice cream
    Cheez-Its and peanuts on ice cream

    Crunk chunks

    Dorito dust

    Best try at Colleen’s onion dip
    
Pizza cream cheese
    Nate’s spicy chicken spices

    Chicken salt

    Shrettuce 

    Gas-station bean dip

    Gas-station tostadas 

    Double decker boomtown upgrade

    Cabbage patch

    Coconut-chile dressing

    Mom’s famous burnt tomatoes

    Big zesty buttermilk dressing



    All of my refined indulgent food fantasies came true with these recipes. The only thing missing from the pages is a scratch and sniff sticker with the pizza cream cheese or Thanksgiving foods. I did not smoke anything before, during, or after making these and I have no shame in admitting that I will be adding many to my regular cooking repertoire. Go ahead and try a few and “laissez les bon temps rouler” (let the good times roll).

    Turkey and the Wolf – A focus on fun and creative recipes

    This book has dozens of wild and creative recipes from Mason Hereford, owner of the Turkey and the Wolf restaurant in New Orleans. Most of the recipes include pictures of the food, and there are also many fun/zany/chaotic pictures and drawings that make the book feel like a wild ride through FlavorTown.

    The recipes are divided into the following categories:

    “A Month of Sundays” (Breakfast) – 7 recipes
    “The Salad Ranch” (Salad) – 6 recipes
    “Big Hat, No Cattle” (Vegetables) – 6 recipes
    “Delta Folly” (Seafood) – 7 recipes
    “Enjoy Every Sandwich” (Sandwiches) – 8 recipes
    “Shake Hands with Beef” (Dishes for Meat Lovers) – 10 recipes
    “Side Hustle” (Fixings) – 7 recipes
    “Mama Tried” (Burger Joint Fare) – 5 recipes
    “Just Liquor & Dessert From Here On Out” (Desserts) – 6 recipes
    “When I Dip, You Dip, We Dip” (Dips, Spreads & Other Stuff) – 14 recipes

    Overall this is a pretty unusual and creative cookbook, with many recipes that you probably won't find anywhere else. Even though I felt that at times the authors were trying a bit TOO hard to be “wild and crazy”, I still appreciated the creativity in these recipes. There are some great twists on traditional foods, and a few of these recipes have inspired me to be a little more adventurous with my own culinary creations.

    I've been obsessed with Turkey and the Wolf since I read about them in Bon Appetit in 2017. I love their vibe and approach to food. When I saw a cookbook was going to be published, I knew I had to buy! The cookbook arrived last week and I was so excited to see recipes for dishes served at Turkey and the Wolf and Molly's Rise and Shine. I've been able to visit each place once during trips to New Orleans and I'm looking forward to trying some of the dishes I remember loving at home.

    I couldn't let too much time pass before attempting a recipe so I went for the Hot Tuna first. So good and has me pumped to keep exploring.

    You may be scrolling through reviews trying to figure out.. is this for me? is this a good gift for the foodie loved one in my life? My answer to you is, just go for it! From what I can tell most of these recipes aren't exactly challenging, but they are what I like to call a food project. Food project is when there are multiple recipes that all come together for 1 dish (ex: separate recipe for a dip and/or toppings that all go on 1 sandwich). These aren't your quick, 30-min week night meals. This is for your special Sunday meal or having a party and wanting to wow snacks.

    I first learned of T&W from an Instagram sandwich channel. I have been lucky enough to visit the shop in the Irish channel and cooked the recipes myself. The book is beautiful and instructions are easy to replicate. If you can’t pop in for the real experience, the recipes in the book taste exactly like the store. It’s crazy how that doesn’t always work out, but this one does!
