My guest this week is Susi Gott Séguret author of Appalachian Appetite: Recipes from the Heart of America – Paperback 

Susi was my guest August 3rd to talk about Favorite Culinary Quotes, her latest book.  She was nice enough to send me a copy of her 2016 Appalachian Appetite.  She and her family had to endure the Hurricane Helene left a trail of destruction across the U.S. Southeast and Susi is still enduring the damage and outages.

Appalachian Appetite is a groundbreaking, influential cookbook featuring over 100 recipes that represent an innovative take on tradition, with contributions and stories from this mountain region’s best chefs, restaurants, and citizens. From Asheville, NC to Nashville, TN; Oxford, MS to Millinocket, ME, when asked which cuisine most typifies America, chefs are bound to tell you it stems from the South, the heartbeat of which is Appalachia.

Hailing from the very depths of Appalachia in western North Carolina, author and chef Susi Gott Séguret honed her culinary skills in France earning a diploma in Gastronomy and Taste from the Cordon Bleu and the Université de Reims. This unique combination is highlighted in Appalachian Appetite as (says Fred Sauceman, author of Buttermilk & Bible Burgers) “the loving product of that convergence.”

Appalachian Appetite is filled with recipes straight from the heart of Appalachia. As Dr. Jean Haskell, co-editor of Encyclopedia of Appalachia says, the book brings together “the region’s music, food, stories, and its great chefs and home cooks.”  Get a copy at Amazon NOW!
