“Once again, am rating a cookbook I haven't actually made things out of and instead read cover-to-cover... one day, I will actually attempt a craft but today is not that day.
A cousin of mine got married in Lexington in 2019, and I remember her "Things to Do" guide was basically horses and bourbon. My mother isn't much of a drinker, but I encouraged my family to go to at least one distillery while we were in the area and we ended up at Buffalo Trace. This book brought memories of that trip, and the complex sense layers in different varieties as climate, wood, grain bill, and time affect the liquor within barrels that sit aging in a rickhouse.
Ed's voice is distinctive and I cannot help but read it in his voice. A variety of recipes to consider from appetizers to mains as well as desserts, along with cocktails interspersed. Bourbon Land also provides tour itinerary suggestions for different regions of Kentucky, interviews with master distillers and experts in the field, and the history of bourbon as a product and the components within.”About Edward Lee
