Now\, with culinary school\, seven years at the world-famous Le Bernardin—where he moved from line cook to creative director—and his Michelin-starred restaurant Lazy Betty under his belt\, Hsu is more than ready to share his recipes inspired by his Chinese childhood in the American South. \n\n\n\nThe delicious results include recipes like cornbread made with deeply flavored lap cheong (Chinese sausage) standing in for pork cracklins and char siu style pork lacquered with a sorghum syrup-bourbon glaze. Laced with ginger\, the potlikker of gently braised watercress can throw down with that of any collard greens\, and a soy sauce and shiitake mushroom gravy enhances traditional meatloaf. \n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n			About the Author\n\n			\n		\n	\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Colette Collins \n\n\n\nRon Hsu is the culinary director and a partner in his Michelin-starred restaurant\, Lazy Betty\, in Atlanta\, Georgia.
