Book Description
A Southern historian combs through Kentucky cookbooks from the mid-nineteenth century through the twentieth to reveal a fascinating cultural narrative. In Kentucky's Cookbook Heritage, John van Willigen explores the Bluegrass State's cultural and culinary history, through the rich material found in regional cookbooks. He begins in 1839, with Lettice Bryan's The Kentucky Housewife, which includes pre-Civil War recipes intended for use by a household staff instead of an individual cook, along with instructions for serving the family. Van Willigen also shares the story of the original Aunt Jemima—the advertising persona of Nancy Green, born in Montgomery County, Kentucky—who was one of many African American voices in Kentucky culinary history. Kentucky's Cookbook Heritage is a journey through the history of the commonwealth, showcasing the shifting attitudes and innovations of the times. Analyzing the historical importance of a wide range of publications, from the nonprofit and charity cookbooks that flourished at the end of the twentieth century to the contemporary cookbook that emphasizes local ingredients, van Willigen provides a valuable perspective on the state's social history.

Book Description
“Delectable recipes throughout [and] valuable hints on the fine art of being a good cook. A book to read—as well as to put to use.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Down-home Southern cooking is as much a part of Kentucky’s heritage as fine horses or bourbon whiskey. Known as a skilled hand in the kitchen, Marion Flexner compiled delicious and thoroughly tested recipes of Kentucky specialties, such as the Chocolate Almond Torte, Tombstone Pudding, and the Real Hot Brown, and “sippages” like the Apple Toddy and the Churchill Downs Mint Julep, in this classic cookbook that showcases the commonwealth’s best cuisine. Also included are colorful anecdotes that reflect a century of culinary Kentucky. “Out of Kentucky Kitchens is in the small circle of definitive books on Southern cookery and history.”―John Egerton, author of Southern Food: At Home, on the Road, in History
