An illustrated cookbook with commentary. Mountain Cooking is a collection of recipes—some new and others very old, with commentary. It introduces Appalachian food--a unique blend of the recipes brought by settlers --Cajun, French, German, Scots, escaped slaves and those prepared by the native Cherokee. These recipes represent a merging of all the cuisines of the people who live in the high country from New York south to Georgia.  Mountain food is born of fresh ingredients, wild plants and game. It fed small farmers with little ground. They hunted a great deal and gathered what was wild.

The mountaineers were cash poor but masters of self sufficiency.  They farmed what the mountain land would support and made the best of it.  Mountain cooking is not “Southern.” It is truly, “Mountain Food.”  It is, quite simply “Soul Food.”  Some recipes are very old others more recent.  But these are all dishes you can find today on tables throughout Appalachia.
