Book Overview

Loretta Lynn was born in the coal mining country of Kentucky. She was the oldest of seven kids; raised in poverty, married at 13, and a mother of 4 by the time she was 17. Few would have expected this type of adolescence to produce a woman who was the winner of every music award imaginable, the author of two New York Times bestselling books and a 2003 Kennedy Center honoree, and whose life story was the subject of an Academy Award winning movie. In You're Cookin' It Country, Loretta Lynn shares over 120 of her favorite recipes. From the dishes her mother cooked as she was growing up to the meals she has prepared for her family over the years. Also included are more than 35 stories relating to food as only Loretta can tell them. These include stories of her "Mommy" going out hunting for rabbit and possum to the more recent story of Jack White of the rock group The White Stripes flying to Nashville to have a dinner of chicken and dumplings with Loretta. There is also the story of her husband to be, Doolittle, buying a pie from her at an auction only to discover that Loretta had mistaken salt for the sugar when she baked it. You're Cookin' It Country will be a must have purchase for the millions of fans Loretta has made all over the world. Loretta's first book, Coal Miner's Daughter (1978) has sold more than one million copies. Her second book, Still Woman Enough (2002) has sold more than 200,000 copies. Both were New York Times bestsellers.

The book is a very light hearted read and you get to see how they had to use lots of love and ingenuity feeding all the family. Things may have been tough,but so were the people;and even when the variety may have been not what we are used to today; nobody ever went hungry. As a matter of fact ,the old saying that "We...

Easy to follow recipes

I just got the cookbook yesterday and I haven't been able to put it down. I keep reading the recipes making notes of which ones I want to make. Loretta makes some classic southern things such as Wilted Lettuce and Chocolate Gravy. There are recipes for every meal and she includes plenty of stories and pictures to go along with many of the recipes. The recipes have easy ingredients. Things that you can find in the store and...

love it!

I haven't made the recipes yet but thoroughly enjoyed the stories. My grandfather & his family before him grew up much the same as they were from WV so it was nice to hear stories of someone who lived similarly. I originally bought the book hoping to get biscuits close to what my great aunt from WV makes. The recipe looks pretty close to the vague description she can give me, none of those women did much measuring and Loretta...
