More Than Beans & Cornbread: Traditional West Virginia Cooking
By Barbara Beury McCallum
Paperback, 190 pages
In this book you’ll find “old West Virginia family recipes” to leave your children, and their children. The kind that celebrate a time when cooking and eating were ends in themselves…not just the joyless science it is becoming.
This cookbook will keep your family eating well, using simple ingredients. If you are mostly into microwave zapping, fast foods, or obsessed with low salt, fat, cholesterol, and have not much interest in how foods “taste”, just put this book down now.
But if you like to eat, and believe the enjoyment of same is not the 8th Deadly Sin ( as long as you practice Terence’s “moderation in all things”) then take it home with you. So, let’s break bread - West, By God, Virginia style - you’ll discover it is more than pinto beans and cornbread.
Barbara McCallum, great granddaughter of West Virginia coal pioneer, Col. Joseph Lawton Beury, has been a professional writer for some 40 years. Ms. McCallums articles reflect her interest in West Virginia history, travel, indigenous plants, folk medicine, and cooking. She is a regular food writer for the Charleston, WV Sunday Gazette-Mail.
