<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>A tour of Bourbon Country and modern southern entertaining through more than 90 recipes developed by David Danielson, executive chef at Churchill Downs, and Tim Laird, chief entertaining officer of Brown-Forman.</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Bourbon, the first uniquely American distilled spirit, is nearly synonymous with Kentucky, its birthplace. The region conjures images of verdant hills of bluegrass, rolling pastures punctuated like an intricate quilt with horse farms' defining white fences, cold bourbon cocktails sweating in the sun, and hundreds of well-dressed racegoers urging their steeds of choice to the finish line--all culminating into one distinctive southern heritage. <p/>However, bourbon has come a long way since it was first distilled in the late 1700s, and its popularity and refinement have never been greater. At the same time, southern cuisine has evolved to keep up with bourbon's evolution through once unheard-of collaborations between kitchen and bar, a renewed interest in seasonal local ingredients, and the influence of the delicious food traditions of the region's growing migrant populations. <p/>This book distills the spirit and hospitality--both new and old--of great southern food and drink into 90 accessible recipes designed to help you achieve the ease and elegance of Bourbon Country entertaining in your own home. Arranged by the kind of traditional fare you'd find on a Kentucky table--pickles, vegetables, ancient grains, bounties from the barnyard, bourbon cocktails, and more--these recipes pay homage to the rituals and victuals of yesteryear while embracing the new southern palate and the flavors of modern Kentucky bourbon.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Advance praise for <i>The Bourbon Country Cookbook</i>: </b> <p/>"When the first Saturday in May rolls around and you begin to long for a taste of that Old Kentucky home you may or may not hail from, but surely do revere, <i>The Bourbon Country Cookbook</i> is here to help take you home.
