Description:
Smoke, Roots, Mountain, Harvest is a unique cookbook that roots itself in Appalachian ingredients and cooking techniques and transforms them into inspired meals and menus. These are familiar foods as you haven't seen them before, enlivened by new flavours or techniques. From the author's popular blog, Harvest and Honey these 78 recipes are organised by the seasons and encompass a variety of meal occasions, from small plates to soups, salads, mains, sides, drinks, dessert. Menus are suggested according to charming events. Each chapter opens with reflections and stories centred on rediscovering the unique food culture of the region. For example, a journey through a forest in the Virginia Mountains leads to an inspired forager's feast with recipes like Chanterelle and Candy Roaster Squash Bread Puddings and Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream Sandwiches with Black Raspberry Ice Cream. The author's own photography serves to evoke a sense of place, in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a geographically striking and historically rich place.
