"PRIDE OF KENTUCKY: Great Recipes With Food, Farm and Family Traditions"

BOOK IS ALL ABOUT 'PRIDE OF KENTUCKY'

"Pride of Kentucky: Great Recipes With Food, Farm and Family Traditions" is a coffee-table size cookbook filled with recipes using traditional Kentucky commodities. It contains stories about Kentucky's food, culture and traditions, and information on festivals and agri-tourism destinations in the Commonwealth. It is published by the Kentucky Extension Association of Family and Consumer Sciences.

"This book gives readers a taste of great Kentucky Fresh foods while also bringing them closer to the people who produce our food and fiber," Agriculture Commissioner Billy Ray Smith said. "The Kentucky Department of Agriculture is pleased to help the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service market this book."

"'Pride of Kentucky' is a cookbook, but it is much more than that," said Scott Smith, Dean of the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture. "It also contains fascinating lessons about Kentucky history, geography, sociology, and agricultural production. We are working on an educational curriculum that will utilize the book. It will be a tremendous resource for cooks, teachers, and people just looking for places to go in the country."

Kentucky's unique array of culinary delights takes center stage in the publication. Approximately 250 mouth-watering recipes are divided into eight categories: Blue Ribbon Beef, Prize-Winning Pork, Premium Poultry and Eggs, Specialty Showcase, Delectable Dairy Dishes, Bountiful Beans and Grains, Gold Medal Gardens, and Sensational Spirits, Sips, and Sweets.

The center section is a tribute to Kentucky institutions that contribute to the Bluegrass State's rural culture. A nutritional analysis of each recipe is at the end of the book. The cover features one of Kentucky's breathtaking farm scenes from a photograph by acclaimed Kentucky photographer James Archambeault.

"Kentucky agriculture has undergone more dramatic changes in the past two years than it had in the previous 40," Commissioner Smith said. "Declining tobacco quota has forced many Kentucky producers to look for different ways to make money on the farm. At the same time, consumers are demanding locally grown fresh and value-added food products. Families are traveling to destinations closer to home, and urban residents are looking for things to do that tie in with Kentucky's rich rural heritage. This book is a resource that addresses all these trends. Kentucky farmers and Kentucky consumers will benefit greatly from the information contained in this book."

"Pride of Kentucky" will sell for $27.95. Consumers may buy the book at their local Extension offices for $25 with tax, a 16 percent discount. Or you may obtain them at the web page www.prideofkybook.com. Proceeds from book sales will go to an educational endowment fund for scholarships and an awards program to recognize excellence in education.
