The book is not just a cookbook, but a guided tour to the food of Appalachia, from Maryland to Georgia.  The author points out that the cookbook is not "Southern cooking," but a related cuisine from the "deep valleys, small farms, and rugged people" of the Appalachian mountain chain.

Nearly three hundred delicious recipes are included in the book, including regional specialties like tomato dumplings, pinto bean pie, pawpaw cookies with black walnuts, country fried steak, corn sticks, sorghum pie and angel biscuits.   Additionally, the book is filled with stories and anecdotes, lengthy discussions of recipe origins, history and lore, and more.

The cookbook was released by St. Martin's Press November 1, 1996.  The book measures 7.8 x 1.2 x 9.2 inches.
