Hindman Settlement School is thrilled to share the next title releasing from Fireside Industries, our literary imprint with the University Press of Kentucky.
Just a Few Miles South: Timeless Recipes from our Favorite Places from Chef Ouita Michel is full of recipes for popular menu items at Windy Corner Market, Wallace Station, The Midway Bakery and other Chef Ouita restaurants.
In her long-awaited book, Chef Ouita shares stories of these recipes, the restaurants and staffs that cook and serve them, and her love for the personalities who dine at her tables throughout the Bluegrass, and who often inspired dishes. When you can’t get down to your favorite place, Just a Few Miles South: Timeless Recipes from our Favorite Places will help you bring home the aroma, the flavors, and the love of fresh foods made with locally sourced ingredients — and share it all with friends and family.
