When asked which cuisine most typifies America, chefs are bound to tell you it stems from the South. From the luscious belly of our nation, the mountains where sweet corn is grown and the rivers where trout flashes its rainbow colors, all the way down to the Mississippi Delta, the South has a gift for capturing both our hearts and our taste buds.
If the South is the heart of America, Appalachia is the heart of the South. It has been said that to understand America, you must first understand Appalachia. Edgar Allen Poe preferred Appalachia to America as a name for a country of enterprising immigrants.
Join Susi Gott Séguret for an adventure into the soul of the Appalachian Mountains. Susi will dish out a program of stories and song, recipes, and her own fiddle playing. Whet your appetite as you savor the sweetness of the ballads and ingredients which define this region of rare history.
