The Caddy's Cookbook: Remembering Favorite Recipes from the Caddy House to the Clubhouse of Augusta National Golf Club, Hardcover

Forty Delicious Recipes Inspired by the Links at Augusta

As a caddy at Augusta National Golf Club, Tripp Bowden learned many invaluable lessons about golf, life--and food. In The Caddy's Cookbook, Bowden shares forty of his favorite recipes inspired by his life spent behind-the-scenes at Augusta. Complete with intrinsic, full-color photos, this book--certainly not standard by any cookbook terms--features surprising spins on table-friendly classics, such as Honey Baked Ham butter beans, caddy house gumbo, collard greens and pot liquor, deep fried pork chop sandwiches, New England clam chowder, Clubhouse ice cream, toasted pound cake (also known as Mr. Roberts's Dessert), and Bowden's favorite beverage from the nineteenth hole.

Along the way, Bowden contextualizes how and when he enjoyed some of these unexpected culinary delights as he details his unique caddy experiences and the lifelong friendships forged through food and golf. In doing so, he creates a real treat for golf lovers and food enthusiasts alike, with elements of unscripted humor reminiscent of the classic Caddyshack sprinkled and dashed throughout
