Book Review: “Buttermilk and Bible Burgers”

Fred Sauceman has gathered a collection of stories that provide an accurate portrayal of the reverence of a good meal in the region.

WV has a love for food ranging from heirloom culinary items such as leather britches & cornbread, to delights as simple as a pepperoni roll.

Recently, folks gathered at the Hindman Settlement School in the hills of Southeastern Kentucky for the first Appalachian Food Summit.

For folks in Flag Pond, TN each spring brings again the age-old combination of ramps, potatoes, bacon grease, and black iron.

In addition to recipes, a cookbook can dish up a nice serving of history. Especially an 1890 book passed down from mother to daughter.
