HUMMUS

Roots

ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA

from $4 for 8 oz.; rootshummus.com

It’s not uncommon to see a tub or two of this

hummus in our office refrigerator—or spooned into

a bowl when we’re entertaining at home. We’re

partial to the herbaceous Lima Bean variation

complemented by parsley and thyme, but the

Roasted Garlic follows closely behind.

LIQUEUR

Martine Honeysuckle

AUSTIN, TEXAS

$29.99 for 750 ml.;

martinehoneysuckle.com

Gary Kelleher bottled up the

universal Southern childhood

memory of tasting sweet

honeysuckle blossoms.

Add an ounce of nostalgia

to a gin and tonic, or use it

as a substitute for sugar

in an old-fashioned.

VINAIGRETTE

Mod Squad Martha

NASHVILLE

$10 for 12 oz.;

Emmylou

Harris’ go-to

catering chef

Melissa Ann

Barton has

started bottling

the dressings

and marinades

that made her

a hit with her

list of musician

clients. Our

favorite is this

fruit-forward

vinaigrette

named after

The Bluebird

Cafe. Â

Holmsted Fines

BIRMINGHAM

$9.99 for 12 oz.; holmstedfines.com

Last-minute party planners know that

chutney is the real game changer on the cheese

board. Rebecca Williamson’s Green Tomato

Chutney combines her European culinary training

with her Alabama roots.

BUTTERMILK

AtlantaFresh

ATLANTA

$2.99 for 1 qt.;

atlantafresh.com

Most grocery

store butter-

milk is pretty

disappointing.

This one is

thick and rich,

and there is

nothing that it

can’t make

better—from

homemade

cornbread

to pancakes to

chess pie to

a chicken

marinade. It’s

the Meryl

Streep of

ingredients.

KIMCHI

Harvest Roots Ferments

MENTONE, ALABAMA

$7.99 for 12 oz.;

harvestrootsferments.com

A crowd-pleasing kimchi?

It’s possible. Crisp and perfectly

piquant, this made believers

out of fermented-food novices

and superfans alike.
