Book Review
Jack Daniel's Cookbook, Stories and Kitchen Secrets from Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House,
by Lynne Tolley and Mindy Merrell
If you are interested in Southern cooking, this has some excellent recipes. There is Jack Daniel's whiskey in places I wouldn't put it, but I think it works fine in barbeque sauce. There's a long chapter on barbeque and grilling. Southern standbys like cornbread recipes and coffeecakes abound. The fried chicken recipes, or rather, instructions, are what I remember from neighbors in my childhood in Maryland. Anecdotes from the old boarding house add to this unusual book. Not much for vegetarians, and there is bacon grease in recipes that have usually written it out in the 21st century.
