TNS Cookbook Week: Zac Brown Band's Southern Ground: Recipes, Images, Lifestyle, and Lore

A former restaurateur and chef, Zac Brown recently released his first-ever cookbook with the help of his band mates, family and friends. In addition to 27 of Zac's favorite comfort-food recipes (which are printed on removable index cards to preserve the book while cooking), Zac personally selected an array of photos, poems and passages that capture the spirit of each dish. The book is currently available online, at ZBB shows and at Cracker Barrel stores nationwide.

Removable index cards contain 27 of the most coveted recipes by Zac Brown and his friends - from Southern Fried Chicken and Hearty Brunswick Stew to Farmer's Fried Green Tomatoes and Revival Peach Cobbler. As well are dozens of poems, songs, and stories - both fact and lore - accompanied by images of art, nature, travel and life that illustrate how to make it all happen.

"Obviously we're always working on our music, but with this tour we're building an experience that involves all senses to ensure that it blow fans away every time," says Zac Brown. "When people come to our show, we want them to smell the food cooking, taste our favorite recipes, watch our home videos of the road, listen to some great new artists and feel our excitement - a full five-sense experience."
