Recipe from Kentucky Down Under included in The Kentucky Cookbook!!!
Author and Kentucky native
Pam Whinnery will be signing her Celebrity Cookbooks this weekend, Saturday,
June 30 at the Horse Cave, KY Book Fest 2012, along with over 100 authors from
across the nation. Whinnery’s book signing of both her Kentucky and Tennessee cookbooks
is serving as a fundraiser for the Kentucky Repertory Theatre.
Now in its sixth printing the
cookbook, “Favorite Recipes of Kentucky Celebrities” is a celebration of all
things Kentucky. It not only has recipes from famous celebrities such as Bill
Monroe, Ashley Judd, and magician Lance Burton, but recipes from various
historical locations, tourist attractions, and unique Kentucky celebrations.
The bestselling author has
had the opportunity to participate in several of these incredible celebrations.
Joe Pruitt, organizer of the National Corvette Homecoming ask her to do a book
signing at the event as a fundraiser for the Bowling Green Chapter of the
American Cancer Society. The Annual Homecoming is in Bowling Green, which is
the home of the only Corvette plant in the world and the National Corvette
Museum.
Probably the most unusual and
fun event is the Annual Great Outhouse Blowout Race held at Penn’s Store in
Gravel Switch, KY (near Danville). The September event is carried live on ESPN.
The celebration first started in 1992 as an Outhouse Dedication Ceremony at America's
oldest country store, still in ownership and operation by the same family since
1845. The historic '92 event included performances by Chet Atkins and Bill
Edd Wheeler. Dawn Lane Osborn, granddaughter of Alma 'Tincy'
Penn invited Pam to do a book signing as a fundraiser for Penn’s Store and its
OUTHOUSE, which are listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, a
Kentucky Historical Landmark, and a Kentucky Centennial Business.
Her second cookbook “Country Goodness Recipes of
Tennessee Celebrities,” which is in its third printing has recipes from Reese
Witherspoon, Elvis, & basketball legend Lionel Hollins. The cookbook was
part of a book signing by the author and John Carter Cash at the 40th
Annual Museum of Appalachia Fall Homecoming. This celebration is honoring Appalachian
Folk life through music and crafts.
