46 full-color photos are responsible for the price of this version of Zetta's Coal Camp Recipes. While the men work below the ground at the coal camp, the women work above it-doing laundry in backyard copper kettles, hanging clothes to dry on makeshift lines around the coal-burning kitchen stove, and cooking. Always cooking. The 29 recipes in these pages are authentic Appalachian recipes from the early 1900s-and include Zetta's biscuits and chocolate gravy, Clarie's squirrel dumplings, and Dosha's buttermilk pie. Scenes depicting the three woman, and full-color photos of food or coal camp items accompany each recipe. But no squirrels were harmed for the photo of Clarie's squirrel dumplings. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the chicken representing the squirrel meat in the photo. Post-recipe material includes a sample chapter from Zetta's Dream: An Appalachian Coal Camp Novel, glossary of Appalachian terms and short excerpts from the author's recent books.
