Chef Chris and Idie Hastings know an heirloom tomato eaten at its season’s peak will produce an indelible memory. They founded the Hot and Hot Fish Club to live their fresh, local philosophy. Soon, food lovers around the country can share their dream with The Hot and Hot Fish Club Cookbook, A Celebration of Food, Family & Traditions (October 2009; Running Press.) As chefs, consultants, and authors, Chris and Idie have been preparing and serving simple, local food with ingredients collected from a diverse network of passionate, regional purveyors since their restaurant’s opening in 1995. Their seasonal market cuisine not only respects local traditions, but embodies them so that guests come away with new memories and a sense of place.
