(More customer reviews)The title might lead your expectations down a different road, but this book is truly a gem for cooks and non-cooks alike. It's a cookbook with recipes, yes, but what makes it special is the family stories that surround the creation and consumption of each. Morris' conversational tone paints vivid images of a tight-knit family and how integral food is in expressing their love for one another and their roots.

Beyond the stories are recipes that are easy to make, fun to create and delicious to eat. You haven't lived until you've tried Maw Maw's West Virginia Funeral Cake. Dee-lish.

Product Description:
With a respectful nod to Ernie Mickler's original WHITE TRASH COOKING, Kendra Bailey Morris pulls open the back door of her Granny Boohler's kitchen to chronicle the next generation of cookin' and socializin' the Southern white trash way. Bubbling over with treasured family recipes, entertaining ideas, and crafty decor suggestions, WHITE TRASH GATHERINGS has the perfect dish for every occasion, whether it's potlucking, just havin' ‘em ovah, headin' home for the holidays, or creating a holy gatherin' from scratch. Next time the kin sets down to Sunday supper, serve it West Virginia style, and make sure there's plenty, ‘cause when Maw Maw and Paw Paw come from down ‘round Possum Hollow, they'll be expecting to leave with a belly-full.
