Work up an appetite to meet cookbook author Jan Brandenburg at CoffeeTree Books on Saturday, May 3 at 5:00 p.m. Samples of her recipes will be available to attendees, and she will be signing copies of her book after discussing the inspiration behind her cooking. In The Modern Mountain Cookbook: A Plant-Based Celebration of Appalachia, Brandenburg updates the meals of her eastern Kentucky childhood to make them accessible to everyone—including cooks of any skill level—looking to incorporate more veg-friendly fare into their rotation. From eggless scramble for breakfast to fried chick'n for supper, this innovative cookbook provides readers with an extensive menu of delicious, cruelty-free dishes fit for all occasions.
Appalachian and plant-based cooking are no longer at odds—people who love country classics can preserve their culinary traditions while eating a healthier, more ethical diet. With The Modern Mountain Cookbook in one hand and a cast-iron skillet in the other, you can have your pineapple upside-down cake and eat it, too.
Jan A. Brandenburg is a cook, digital content creator, and pharmacist from eastern Kentucky. Wanting to enjoy the flavors of her childhood without supporting the meat industry, she has spent years developing plant-based alternatives to traditional Appalachian dishes.
