Excerpt from The Blue Grass Cook Book
It is June in Japan, and it is June in that blessed land of the Blue Grass. The sun shines there, no doubt, right now: the corn top's. Ripe; the meadows are in bloom and along turnpike and out in the fields the song and laughter of darkies make gay the air. It is early morning. The singing of birds comes through the open windows - the chatter of blackbirds and the mid-air calls of far away meadow larks. Through those windows sleepy eyes see wood and field, with stretches of blossoming blue grass rip pling in the wind. Another half-conscious doze for an hour, another awakening, and by your bed stands a black boy in a snowy apron, his white teeth shining, and in his kindly black paws a silver goblet on a silver tray. Heavens, how it hurts to smell that mint this far away The goblet is gleaming with frost, and the mint is still drenched.

Excerpt from The Blue Grass Cook Book
It is not wise for a man who can get seasick in a rowboat on a mill-pond to attack a Japanese dinner just after a seventeen days' voyage across the Pacific. I was just that unwise, and for that reason perhaps can do but scant justice in this Land of the Rising Sun, to a soup in which floats bits of strange fishes from the vasty deep, unknown green things and an island of yellow custard; to slices of many colored raw fish, tough cocks' combs (real ones) or even to the stewed chicken which at this dinner at least had been shorn of everything except bones and tough sinews.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to the heart of the Blue Grass region of Kentucky, offering a glimpse into a world of Southern hospitality and culinary traditions. The author, a keen observer of life in the Blue Grass, paints a vivid picture of a bygone era, highlighting the importance of the Kentucky cook in shaping the region's rich social and cultural landscape. The book delves into the history of Southern hospitality, exploring its roots in the slave-owning society and the central role played by the African-American cook in the grand houses of the region. The author reflects on the significance of the cook, not only in preparing the elaborate meals that were the hallmark of Southern hospitality, but also in fostering a sense of warmth and connection between host and guest. This book offers a unique perspective on the social and cultural dynamics of the American South, shedding light on the roles and relationships of different members of society, and reminding readers of the enduring power of food to connect people across generations and social boundaries.
