Cooking
This collection of
recipes and anecdotes is sure to entice food fans to read it
and reap the rewards.
When my grandmother
and mother were growing up, an important ingredient in their
cooking education came from the
county
Extension
agents. These women demonstrated safe home canning, shared
recipes, and planned nutritious meals for the family.
Extension agents
still help people today, and in
Kentucky
, they have given one measure better. Pride
of
Kentucky
: Great Recipes With Food, Farm, and Family Traditions is
a long name for a very fine book that does much more than
compile
Kentucky
’s best recipes.
Upon looking
through this volume, which is a partnership project of the
University
of
Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service
and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, you’ll learn
about the state’s history, where and when food festivals are
held, and how to locate the best markets for fresh produce. In
the back, you’ll find a terrific resource guide and
nutritional profiles for the recipes. For old times’ sake,
there’s even a page or two on safe home canning.
