Daniel Boone crossed the Cumberland Gap in 1775, and Kentuckians have been blazing trails ever since—especially when it comes to good eating.

You'll discover such delightful dishes as Smack-Your-Lips Waffles, Triple Crown Pie, Derbynog, Hot Brown Sandwich, Country Fried Chicken, Sawmill Gravy, and the extravagant Kentucky Burgoo among the more than 400 recipes selected from forty-five cookbooks to represent the Bluegrass State's finest dishes.

Best of the Best from Kentucky is one of thirty volumes in Quail Ridge Press' acclaimed Best of the Best State Cookbook Series—continuing the tradition of Preserving America's Food Heritage.
