"From burgoo thick with chorizo and chicken to a cocktail that sloshes with bourbon and sorghum, this book showcases innovative Appalachian food and drink." -John T. Edge, series editor of Cornbread Nation: The Best of Southern Food Writing Tupelo Honey Cafe, now with locations throughout the Mountain South, brings fans the restaurant's second cookbook. Tupelo Honey Cafe: New Southern Flavors from the Blue Ridge Mountains, provides a gastronomic tour of the flavors and tastes of the region considered the Mountain South-but interpreted through Tupelo's own lexicon. From Appalachian Egg Rolls with Smoked Jalapeno Sauce, Pickled Onions and Pulled Pork to Acorn Squash Stuffed with Bacon Bread Pudding to Upsy Daisy Peach Upside-Down Cake, each recipe tells a story about the traditions, inspiration and history of the southern mountains, using the Blue Ridge Parkway, a 469-mile National Scenic By-way as a narrative jumping-off point. The result is an assembly of 125 imaginative, delicious and approachable recipes to be enjoyed by the home cook, the avid reader and book collector, and the hungry appetite alike. A foreword by Chef Sean Brock and gorgeous photos of the surrounding area and food complete this collection. "As a proud product of my beloved Blue Ridge Mountains, I am heartened by the Ode to Muddy Pond cocktail, intrigued by the Pimento Cheese Fondue, lured by Appalachian Egg Rolls, and astonished by Southern Poutine with Double Sausage Gravy . . . a beautiful cookbook that sent me running into the kitchen." -Sheri Castle, author of Instantly Southern "Elizabeth Sims's thoughtfully written stories and histories of the mountain South provid[e] both setting and inspiration for this distinctive American restaurant. It's nourishment for both belly and heart." -Ronni Lundy, James Beard Award-winning author of Victuals
