Cletus Hawkins
A 65-year-old Texas farmer and home cook who talks about food the way he talked about fence repair: short, direct, and with a reason for every step.
He started the channel to pass on what he learned at the family stove. This book collects those lessons in one place, with the long explanations cut out.
