More Than Moonshine: Appalachian Recipes and Recollections 3 reviews Sidney Saylor Farr
University of Pittsburgh Press, 1983
engaging writing and unique recipes
+ We are often defined by what we eat.... + Definately a Keeper!
I stumbled upon this at the university library among other historical cookbooks. The recipes are appealing and so is the writing. It's a real gem and I'm glad it's still in print.
