Much More Than Beans & Cornbread: Volume 2

In 1993 More Than Beans & Cornbread: Traditional West Virginia Cooking made its debut, and over twenty years later it is still selling copies. Over the years, many people have gotten in touch with me with appreciation for this cookbook, and also to ask if I was ever going to do compile another cookbook.
I was reluctant. Not that I didn't have enough new recipes, but because it would be so different from my first two books, which are strictly West Virginia oriented. Then I thought, “Why, not?” Most people who love to cook also love to try new recipes. Even “died-in-the-wool” Mountaineers today enjoy more than a bowl of beans with cornbread. And once-hard-to-find ingredients now are readily available in our supermarkets.
So here it is. Much More Than Beans and Cornbread: Volume 2 of the Best Selling West Virginia Cookbook is my new collection with all new recipes that are all tried and true and passed muster in my kitchen. They are still basically uncomplicated, and I've converted many of them to take advantage of “store bought” ingredients, which certainly saves time in this busy world, and doesn't seem to drastically affect the overall taste.
As another old lady cook would say, if she were still alive, BON APPETIT! -Barbara Beury McCallum
