The Hot and Hot Fish Club Cookbook is as much a work of passion for Chris and Idie Hastings as their Birmingham restaurant and their home life are. Far more than a recipe book, the pages offer a glimpse of the authors home and work life on a month-by-month basis and how they gather at the table with family and friends to celebrate the passing seasons.

This book contains over 200 creative and delicious recipes that are organized to reflect the seasonal nature of local ingredients. It features profiles of over a dozen purveyors who supply the restaurant with the freshest ingredients. With over 50 full-color photographs, lifestyle menus complete with wine and beer pairings, and an extensive sourcing section, it is your guide to eating exquisite fresh cuisine from the hottest restaurant in the South.
