A seasonal food journey with native Kentuckian Maggie Green, The Kentucky Fresh Cookbook
takes home chefs through a year in a Kentucky kitchen with more than
200 recipes. With a focus on the cook's activities in the kitchen, this
book guides both aspiring and experienced cooks in the preparation of
delicious meals using the delightful variety of foods found in Kentucky.

Green
welcomes readers with her modern and accessible approach, incorporating
seasonally available Kentucky produce in her recipes but also
substituting frozen or canned food when necessary.
|
She complements her year of recipes with tidbits about her own
experiences with food, including regional food traditions she learned
growing up in Lexington, attending the University of Kentucky, and
raising a family in Northern Kentucky. The Kentucky Fresh Cookbook
acknowledges the importance of Kentucky's culinary and agricultural
traditions while showing how southern culture shapes food choices and
cooking methods.
Green appeals to modern tastes using up-to-date, easy to follow recipes
and cooking techniques, and she addresses the concerns of contemporary
cooks with regard to saving time, promoting good health, and protecting
the environment. The Kentucky Fresh Cookbook
contains a year's worth of recipes and menus for everyday meals,
holiday events, and special family occasions -- all written with
Kentucky flair.
