by Robert Diamond - Sep 10, 2012
In The Blue Grass Cook Book, originally published in 1904, Minnie C. Fox compiled over 300 favorite recipes from family and friends, including black cooks, near her Bourbon County, Kentucky, family estate and her home in Big Stone Gap, Virginia. From Johnny Cake to Kentucky Burgout to Baked Apple Dumplings, the recipes found in The Blue Grass Cook Book bring traditional turn-of-the-century southern cuisine to your table. Including introductions from John Fox Jr.-Minnie's brother and popular novelist-and Toni Tipton-Martin, this paperback edition of The Blue Grass Cook Book provides a closer look at the unique relationship between the tradition of white southern hospitality and the black cooks who made it possible.
