Description
Go deep into the heart and soul of American southern cooking.
Smoke Roots Mountain Harvest by Lauren McDuffie, writer of the award-winning food blog Harvest and Honey (and a Saveur Best Blog finalist for Best New Voice), captures the flavors and modern cooking techniques of Appalachia and the Blue Ridge Mountains in this evocative cookbook.
70 recipes and 80 photographs organized by seasons. Each chapter opens with storytelling that echoes the folklore and tall tales of the region, centered on rediscovering the unique food culture of the region. Menu suggestions and wine pairings encompass a variety of meal occasions, from small plates to soups, salads, mains, sides, drinks, dessert, along with tips and techniques on canning, pickling, and preserving.
Appalachia is a treasure trove of fresh produce and time-honored recipes. You can learn a lot about the culture of a place if you pay attention to what its people eat, and the food traditions that are rooted deep in local American cultures are a large part of what makes America the melting pot that it is.
