Hymn to the Ghosts of the Kitchen: Stories and Recipes of Five Generations of Black Country Cooks by Crystal Wilkinson
Crystal Wilkinson shares the “intricacies of Black Mountain culture and food” and collects recipes from her Appalachian ancestors in this gorgeous book filled with family photos. You’ll also find recipes for southern dishes like chicken and dumplings, as well as recipes for soup beans with a healthy twist. A notebook in hand, 12-year-old Wilkinson and his grandmother walk through the woods looking for wild vegetables. No more wondering what to do with a bunch of blackberries (besides eating them by the handful). Wilkinson brings much-needed attention to the existence of the Black Appalachian esophagus.
