The Hachland Hill Cookbook
The Celebration of Phila Hach, a culinary pioneer, and founder of Hachland Hill.
Phila was the author of multiple cookbooks, television star, and once a flight attendant, Phila’s life is best summed up through her poignant observations on life and the delicious recipes that marry her southern roots with her extensive travels.
During her travels as an American Airlines flight attendant, she collected over 3000 recipes from chefs and kitchens along her routes. She shared these recipes on the first televised cooking show in the south. She hosted UN dinners, wrote the first cookbooks for the Cracker Barrel restaurants, was friends with Julia Child and Duncan Hines and managed the food for the 1982 World’s Fair.
In The Hachland Hill Cookbook, Phila’s grandson and former kitchen hand Carter, chronicles Phila’s life and recipes in a loving and long-awaited tribute.
About The Author:
Carter Hach is the executive chef at Hachland Hill, a dining inn and 80 acre retreat center that dates back generations in his family. He grew up cooking with his grandmother, the legendary Chef Phila Hach, and wrote his first recipe for chocolate nut drop cookies before he could actually spell the word, “recipe”.
Carter attended the University of Mississippi and traveled around the world by ship, fueling his passions for writing and fusion cooking. All of Hach’s food is made from scratch and he uses only the best local ingredients from nearby farms located within 30 miles of Hachland Hill, which many say is Nashville’s best kept secret.
