There are very few books on southern Appalachian cooking. Cider Beans, Wild Greens, and Dandelion Jelly will be a beautiful keepsake for tourists and locals alike that preserves the food of the southern mountain people.

There are many cookbooks about Southern cooking, but precious few celebrate the southern Appalachian food that has sustained mountain folk past and present. Thankfully, we now have Joan E. Aller's Cider Beans, Wild Greens, and Dandelion Jelly.

Featuring more than 150 recipes for down-home, soul-satisfying dishes, Cider Beans, Wild Greens, and Dandelion Jelly is more than just a cookbook. Complete with passages on the history, places, and people of southern Appalachia, along with lush full-color photography of the food and scenery of the southern Appalachian Mountains, Cider Beans, Wild Greens, and Dandelion Jelly serves as both a cookbook and a guided tour of the local lore, traditions, and culture of this uniquely American region.

Title: Must Have!
Review: I've never read a cookbook quite like this one before. Not only do we get great dishes, but a history of this beautiful region. The book is rich with stories, phrases and local folks who inspired Aller to put it all on paper for generations to enjoy. The dishes are easy to prepare and unbelieveably delicious. Thank you, Ms Aller, for giving us this beautiful book, it's truely a treasure!

Title: A Southern Cookbook Must Have
Review: This is one of the best Appalachian cookbooks I have ever read. Every page is filled with delicious recipes and interesting stories about life in this region. I should know as I have lived in WV all of my 65 years. I have Wild Greens and Dandelion Jelly in my frig right now. Be sure to try the Whipped Cream Biscuits with Chocolate Gravy and Molasses Stack Cake with Apple Topping. YUM, YUM!

Title: Not just a cookbook
Review: What I love about this "cookbook" is that it's not just a cookbook! I loved reading the pages about the history of Appalachia and the origin of some of the recipes. A lot of these recipes hold memories from my growing up years in the South. I especially love the cranberry pie recipe - who would've thought . . .

Title: Bought the book mostly for the cover
Review: I bought this mostly for the cover pic and it is beautiful. Many beautiful color pics inside. The recipes are simple and easy for thebeginner or tasty for the advanced. Hubby made Appalachian Cider Beans and #1 son loved them. #2 Son loves the Good Morning Granola. This book is perfect for this time of year as it looks so Spring like.Enjoy.

Title: Great Cookbook
Review: I read other's reviews of this book before my purchase and wondered how true they could be. We have this cookbook sitting on the end table in our living room and every visitor picks it up and reads it. I know several have ordered their own copy after looking through and reading ours. It is filled with wonderful recipes that many of us from the south grew up on and many more that we intend to try. I do not think you will be disappointed!!

Title: Never in my grandmother's pantry would ingredients such as French Vanilla Cool Whip or Ramen Noodles have been found
Review: I am giving only one star primarily because I feel the description (and most of the reviews) is misleading. This is NOT a compendium of recipes that are indicative of Southern Applachia and it's people. Never in my grandmother's pantry would ingredients such as French Vanilla Cool Whip or Ramen Noodles have been found. We never had Cranberries, Salmon, Crab, Brie or Camembert. They were just not ingredients to be found in the Southern Pantry.The book offers many beautiful photos and sweet anecdotes but I feel it should have been presented more of a tour of the many Inns that dot the mountain towns.I feel I could have saved my money had the description been more honestly presented.

Title: Will probably be a classic!!
Review: I love, love, love this book! I can honestly say that I have never read a cookbook from cover to cover before - carrying it around with me all afternoon. It is worth buying just for the history and the photographs. She has captured a part of my beloved mountains in her book! I keep finding recipes that I just *have to* try and finding recipes that are already in my personal cookbook. This book will be in my kitchen for a long time to come.
