Loretta Lynn shares recipes, life in new cookbook
From the Asheville Citizen-Times
Chicken `n' dumplin's, beans `n' taters, `possum and peanut butter fudge.
When Loretta Lynn married Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn at age 13, she wasn't much of a cook.
"He threw out everything I cooked for at least three months," she writes in her cookbook, "You're Cookin' It Country" (Rutledge Hill Press, $24.99).
In the book, she tells of her first efforts at cooking, modeling her dishes on those her mother made. When she was growing up in eastern Kentucky as one of eight children, pickings were slim, so mostly she learned to cook "beans and taters and taters and beans."
Regardless of whether you cook from this book, by the time you read the stories and enjoy the photos of Lynn's life, you will feel like this legend in the world of country music is an old friend.
(Article includes two recipes from the book.)
