Appalachian Cookery

For the book of the week I have chosen Foxfire's Appalachian Cookery. This is a wonderful cookbook if you have any roots in Appalachian ancestry.

There are recipes from fried chicken and biscuits to pickled watermelon rind. There are several jelly and jam recipes along with several yummy dessert recipes. The book also tells of how some recipes originated and the "old way" of preparing them.

I really enjoyed this cookbook and saved several recipes from it. It even has the recipe for my Appalachian jelly in it!
