I'm always on the lookout for new and unique cookbooks and when I saw this one available for reviewing, I knew it was something I needed to get my hands on.

So first off, the cover on this book is just gorgeous. It is bright and eye-catching, and I have never seen apples like that before! The book itself is divided into the following chapters...

– Introduction– How to Use This Book– Larder & Kitchen Tools– Good to Know– A Quick Wine Pairing Guide– Fall (Ghost Stories, Far from the Tree, Forest Walk, The Homeplace, Noble Rot)– Winter (The Wilderness Road, Nora's Kitchen, Apothecary, Evergreen, Moonshine)– Spring (Country Roads, Sun Shower, The Friday Night Jamboree, Kentucky Rain)– Summer (Riverbend, Bourbon Country, Strawberries & Summertime, Harvest & Honey, The Sweetest Winds)

This cookbook was well laid out. The recipes easy to follow. It was full of gorgeous photos, quotes, and stories. Which I would have loved to have shown you, but they covered my review copy in an insane amount of “copyright” graphics which frankly made it hard to read.

Here are just a few of the yummy sounding recipes you will find within...

– Fire-Roasted Stuffed Pumpkins– S'mores, from Scratch– Earthquake Bread– “Persinnamon“ Crisps– Curried Bean & Corn bread Soup– Buttermilk & Herb-Fried Chicken with Hot Honey– Blackberry Cobbler– Simple Pizza Dough– Chicken in Milk– Roasted Red Cabbage Wedges– Winter Glow Elixir– Winter-Spiced Morning Rolls– Wildflower & Spring Greens– Morning Sun Tea Lattes– Cantaloupe & Honey Jam– Hummingbird Pancakes (I made these, and they were SO good!)– Heirloom Tomato Galette– Whiskey-Spiked Creamed Corn– Sweet Cream Pound Cake

If you are a collector of cookbooks, then this is one you won't want to miss. It would make a perfect addition to your collection, or a gorgeous coffee-table book to leave out for guests to look through.
