Pre-Owned Shuck Beans, Stack Cakes, and Honest Fried Chicken: The Heart and Soul of Southern Country Kitchens (Paperback)

Here is the first regional American cookbook to offer a true taste of the Mountain South. This unique cookbook gathers together more than 180 authentic down-home southern recipes -- full-flavored, no-nonsense dishes more and more Americans are returning to -- and leavens them with memories of food, family, and friendship from some of country music's most beloved performers. Take a chicken and you kill it/And you put it in a skillet/And you fry it 'til it's golden-brown./That's southern cooking and it tastes mighty nice. -- Kentucky Means Paradise by Merle Travis Straight from the heart and soul of southern cooking. It's a banquet, with background music. -- John Egerton, author of Southern Food; Simple, honest cooking of the Mountain South. . . . A fresh, entertaining approach to food. -- Atlanta Constitution; Reeks with authenticity. -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
