Loretta Lynn's You're Cookin' It Country Cookbook

Additional Details

Description: "If you want a really good old homemade meal and you want to do it right, if you pay attention to this cookbook, you'll make it," says world-famous singer, songwriter, and author Loretta Lynn. "If you don't, then you're liable to do like me. You'll have to try it three or four times, get it thrown out, and get run off." 

Loretta Lynn didn't start out as much of a cook. The first time she baked a chocolate pie, instead of sugar, she used salt. For the first six months of marriage, the only thing Loretta's husband, Doo, thought her cooking was good for was to fatten up their dog named Drive. But Loretta learned to cook pretty fast. Now, after 50 years of cooking and telling tales, Loretta fills this very personal, very country cookbook with her tastiest recipes and favorite memories. 

You're Cookin' It Country features 129 recipes from a variety of sources -- from Loretta's Mommy, who often made do with what she could find in Appalachian Kentucky; from her mother-in-law, Angie Lynn, who served Loretta beef for the very first time; and from the women in Washington state who took a teenage wife and mother of four under their wings. Loretta also shares more than 25 stories, all told in her distinctive style, about things like hunting for wild game with her mother and entertaining Jack White from the rock band The White Stripes with a dinner of chicken and dumplins and homemade bread.
