Pecan-Inspired Mornings with Chef Scott Peacock

Scott Peacock, executive chef of Watershed restaurant in Decatur, Ga., is an award-winning southern food expert whose vision of southern cuisine emphasizes fresh, seasonal and regionally grown ingredients including Georgia pecans.

Chef Peacock co-authored The Gift of Southern Cooking: Recipes and Revelations from two Southern Chefs with his friend and mentor, the late Edna Lewis. He is the recipient of the prestigious James Beard Foundation award for "Best Chef in the Southeast."

"I love the fresh, rich, wholesome flavor of pecans from Georgia," says Chef Peacock. "It's familiar and comforting to incorporate the distinctive, crunchy texture of Georgia pecans into homemade meals – especially breakfast."

Chef Peacock has created two Georgia pecan-inspired breakfast recipes. Enjoy the Georgia Pecan Breakfast Spread at a festive morning family gathering. A quick, energizing meal-on-the-go, the Georgia Pecan Muesli is inspired by a signature brunch menu item at Watershed restaurant. Both of these recipes are the perfect definition of Chef Peacock's passion for quality ingredients, like Georgia pecans.
