The 150 dishes in this folksy scrapbook lean heavily on
ingredients like flour and fat, including breakfast foods like Cat
Head Biscuits (made with shortening), Country Sausage Gravy
(made by stirring flour and milk into sausage drippings), Hominy
Grits (a yummy blend of grits, cheddar cheese, eggs, butter and
spices) and traditional Appalachian concoctions like Scotch
Eggs, which calls for "bulk pork sausage." Main dishes include
backcountry favorites like Country Fried Venison and Kentucky
Frog Legs, while desserts run from Gooey Cake and Lemon
Whippersnappers to varieties of fudge.

*Martha's Got a
New Book!
For the favorite Ogre in your life... Marthas Homekeeping
Handbook
“Not too many Americans knew what ‘thread count’ was
before Martha Stewart came along; now, everybody and
his brother knows that a high thread count is a ‘very good
thing’!
“Such has been the extraordinary effect Martha has had
on an entire generation of Americans who came of age—
domestically—in the early 1990s. What once was taught
to us by mothers and grandmothers is now something we
watch and read about—for fun and facts—in her
magazines and on her show.
“That’s why this book is such an extraordinary reference—
15 years in the making! Imagine 15 years of Martha’s
solid, straightforward advice on everything—from
organizing a pantry to caring for furniture to folding fitted
sheets—all distilled into one comprehensive ‘household
bible.’”
