Down-home Southern cooking is as much a part of Kentuckyβs 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 βsippagesβ like the Apple Toddy and the Churchill Downs Mint Julep, in this classic cookbook that showcases the commonwealthβs best cuisine. Also included are colorful anecdotes that reflect a century of culinary Kentucky.
