Hachland Hill Cookbook

Carter Hach, of Hachland Hill Inn just outside of Nashville, was raised in the kitchen. Some of his earliest memories are of baking with his grandmother, Phila Hach, a one-time flight attendant, cookbook author, television show host, caterer, and chefowner at Hachland Hill Inn, where she built a culinary reputation as the queen of what she called “country cooking,” alongside her kitchen partner, Ruth Williams. When Carter took over at the inn in 2017, he had a lot to live up to—but he had already started brainstorming The Hachland Hill Cookbook, a medley of stories about Phila plus recipes he has been making since childhood that reflect his unique path as the current chef at Hachland Hill. 

This cookbook is made for the entire year, and its recipes range from the familiar and everyday to the surprising and celebratory—but it also provides standouts for putting together an unforgettable holiday table. These are recipes that are meant to be shared, in keeping with the eclectic Southern ethos that has been cultivated at Hachland Hill since its founding in 1956.
