Bookshelf: Fix Me A Plate

By: The Local Palate

Known for his cheeky brand of cooking videos and imaginative takes on comfort foods, Scotty Scott grew up interested in cooking—but he wasn’t always good at it. He begins Fix Me a Plate (Page Street Publishing, 2022) with a childhood anecdote of how his neglect of boiling ham hocks culminated with a visit from the fire department and his very disappointed father. Despite a temporary ban from the kitchen, Scott finally returned to the space with a newfound respect for the cooking process (and careful supervision from his parents).

His love for cooking followed him through college and then law school. He started a personal chef service. With the rise of social media, Scott found the ability to tap into another outlet—his creativity. He long had the urge to create but never felt drawn to drawing or music or viewed himself “as much of a writer.” Short videos and photography, however, were a different story. Scott began filming his antics in the kitchen, where he whipped up recipes—either those that he grew up loving or ideas that struck him spontaneously.
