Classic Kentucky Meals: Stories, Ingredients & Recipes from the Traditional Bluegrass Kitchen (American Palate) Kindle Edition

by Rona Roberts (Author), Sarah Jane Sanders (Photographer) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 20 ratings
See all formats and editions
An award-winning food writer shares recipes for authentic Kentucky meals while profiling some of the state’s culinary staples and producers.

True Kentucky cuisine tastes best at a full table. Friends and family share stories while passing delectables like roast chicken, bacon-kissed wilted salad and fresh butter for the spoon bread. Classic Kentucky Meals puts the state on the plate, highlighting the commonwealth of flavors from Mercer County meadows, a treasured Princeton smokehouse, Casey County’s sorghum fields, and Berea’s culinary traditions. Kentuckians cherish local cheese makers’ fine aged cheddars and sixth-generation millers’ crunchy cornmeals, and savor tender green bean varieties their great-great-grandparents would recognize and applaud.

“A guided tutorial through five great menus of Kentucky flavors, with options for dressing up standards like corn bread and baked beans.” —Lexington Herald

None of these meals my Grandmother would recognize, and there are very few actual recipes in the book. Lovely pictures, lovely articles about farmers, but if you want to cook classic Kentucky meals, find a different book

I love this book! I bought Ms. Roberts' first book, Sweet, Sweet Sorghum, and have used it religiously. I eagerly picked up, not one, but five copies of her new book, knowing that I would love it and so would my nearest and dearest. I have read it out loud to my husband sitting at our kitchen counter as he prepares lovely KY meals for us to enjoy. This book is spot on and true to Rona's love of cornbread, local farmers and their products, and the warmth and expression of someone who loves and enjoys eating great warming food.
