Summary: would be better spiral-bound-
Review: I love cook books. I am a reader and veritable connoisseur of cookbooks. But, to be honest, if one is to really cook out of a cookbook, would author(s) henceforth please chose to have their works spiral-bound; maybe even with coated pages? This removes their book off the 'coffee table' (HardBack editions??) and brings it into the kitchen, where a cookbook belongs. Thank you for listening. Now I have to get back to my PawPaw Pie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GRANDMOTHER'S SECRETS REVEALED!
Review: If you can't remember how Grandma made that cornbread or what to do with ramps, Sohn's book is made to order. He not only includes clear, easy-to-follow directions for preparing each of his recipes, he also adds background information on ingredients and techiques, offers strategies to reduce calorie content, and includes a list of suppliers for regional items. Includes glossary, bibliography and index.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This book is a rip-off
Review: This book that highlights many recipes of the mountains is basically a contrived presentation that steals most of the recipes from the traditional people of the Appalachian mountains by someone who is a native of Oregon. Very bland recipes and very bland presentations. Avoid at all costs.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Mediocre presentations...
Review: Who care about healthy alternative? I defeats the purpose of the nature of these dishes.

The author uses the word "we" way too much- it is clear that he is not of the hills like us-- I am sorry but living in the area doesn't automatically entitle you to adopt our way of life as your own, and profit from it.

We have done well over the years by keeping to ourselves... That is what makes our region unique.
