â€œNo other book will tap into your appreciation of Spam, white bread and canned goods.â€â€”Boston Heraldâ€œWhether you speak grits or grinders, this book creates newfound respect for all that is â€˜white trash.' Armed with a vat of fatback and plenty of down-home sass, Kendra Bailey Morris spins family recipes into living memoirs where grandma's measuring cups transcend their wear, becoming magical tools in crafting the precious taste of home. One read, and you'll be a grit hater no more.â€â€”Dana Craig, Richmond Times-Dispatch â€œRecipes . . . are interspersed with backwoods tails of squirrel huntin' and rat shootin', plus etiquette and decorating tips. Morris recommends recycling burlap sacks or paper grocery bags to scrawl invitations on, and transforming toilet paper rolls adorned with dried pinto beans into napkin rings. Take that, Martha.â€â€”Kristen Mueller, Utne Readerâ€œKendra Bailey Morris has me yearning to bake Granny Boohler's yeasty rolls and to taste Reba May's Creamy Mashed Potatoes. Good reading and great cooking.â€ â€”Antonia Allegra, director, Symposium for Professional Food Writers â€œWritten with love and warmth, White Trash Gatherings brings Kendra Bailey Morris's West Virginia family traditions alive. Each recipe is handled with care and presented with tenderness.â€ â€”Monica Bhide, author, The Everything Indian Cookbook â€œLike The Empire Strikes Back, WHITE TRASH GATHERINGS is the rare sequel that exceeds the original. If you're not white trash, Gatherings will make you wish you were; if you're white trash already, it will make you proud.â€â€”Steven A. Shaw, author, Turning the Tables: The Insider's Guide to Eating Out

"The sequel to Ernie Mickler's beloved White Trash Cooking is the memoir of a kitchen-educated West Virginia girl, told in recipes. With her sincere love for food and family and her keen sense of humor, Morris documents a tradition of cooking and congregating in a voice that is one pinch M.F.K. Fisher, a dash of Florence King and heaping tablespoons of West Virginia grandmother. Invite characters from her childhood into your kitchen with recipes like String Bean Earl's Cornmeal Fried Oysters, Miss Earlie's Dee-Lightful Chicken or Viola's Coconutty Black Walnut Cake, guaranteed to please your kin."â€”Virginia Living Magazine
