Title: Wonderful Hometown Favorites!
Review: This cookbook is wonderful. All of the hometown favorites are included as well as some I've never had before! I am excited to try them out. I get a copy of this for all of our out-of-state interns who are staying with us for an extended period.

Title: Great for Recipes AND Reading!
Review: If you enjoy learning about regional foods (and how to make them) AND learning things about the regions themselves, you will enjoy this cookbook! One of my favorite features is the listing of cookbooks where the recipes were taken from, in the back of this book- very classy in my opinion! I have not tried any recipes directly from this book yet; but as native Kentuckians, my family & I have found several recipes that are ones we have made before and loved, so I have little doubt that there are many other great recipes in this book as well... Oh, and I have to mention: they have some awesome-sounding recipes for various fish and wild game, too!!

Title: some of which will be useful, some of which
Review: This cookbook was purchased for a specific purpose, hosting what will become an annual Derby brunch. It is filled will truly classic old recipes, some of which will be useful, some of which, such as a Brunswick Stew recipe that calls for two squirrels will not. This will no become one of my go to cookbooks, but that is not what I purchased it for. Fans of pone, grits, rabbit, squirrel, pimento cheese and bourbon will find it more useful.

Title: Not exactly what I was looking for
Review: Lots of nice recipes, but I was hoping for more focus on truly regional cooking, and especially Eastern Kentucky specialties. As it is, the selection seems too generic for my taste. Oh well.
