Out Of Kentucky Kitchens

Out Of Kentucky Kitchens by Flexner, Marion. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780813117126.

Good food is as much a part of the Kentucky heritage as fine horses and bourbon whiskey. And nowhere is Kentuckys traditional cuisine better presented than in Out of Kentucky Kitchens by Louisvilles own Marion Flexner. First published in 1949, the book has been popular with cooks and cookbook collectors ever since. A highly skilled hand in the kitchen, Marion Flexner compiled a representative gathering of delicious, thoroughly tested recipes of Kentucky specialties, many of them "heirloom" items given to her by friends and acquaintances. Colorful anecdotes about famous Kentuckians, hostesses, and cooks spanning 100 years accompany the recipes, taking the reader on a journey through Kentuckys culinary history and society. With this authentic Kentucky classic, cooks of older and newer generations can once again have a regional culinary guide that is a delight to use and read.
