Sinossi

A concise, lively history of how the Bluegrass State became famous for illicit distilleries, by the author of The Big Con.   When the first American tax on distilled spirits was established in 1791, violence broke out in Pennsylvania. The resulting Whiskey Rebellion sent hundreds of families down the Ohio River by flatboat, stills on board, to settle anew in the fertile bottomlands of Kentucky.   Once there, they used cold limestone spring water to make bourbon and found that corn produced even better yields of whiskey than rye. Thus, the licit and illicit branches of the distilling industry grew up side by side in the state. This is the story of the illicit side—the moonshiners’ craft and craftsmanship, as practiced in Kentucky. This entertaining, deeply researched slice of history also includes a glossary of moonshiner argot, shedding light on such colorful terms as puker, slop, and weed-monkey.

    The author of Everyday Keto Baking shares the naturally gluten-free wonders of coconut flour: “Erica’s grain-free recipes hit the spot every time.” —Michelle Tam, New York Times–bestselling coauthor of Nom Nom Paleo 
     
    Coconut flour is quickly becoming one of the most popular flours on the market today, and deservedly so. It contains no gluten and no grain, and is low in digestive carbs and high in fiber, making it a favorite among Paleo, gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, and low-glycemic dieters. In addition to what coconut flour doesn’t contain, what it does contain is just as impressive. Not only is it packed with protein, but it also contains four times more fiber than oat bran; just a few tablespoons provides you with between twenty-five to fifty percent of your daily required intake! 
     
    Inside, you’ll learn how to bake wonderful muffins, cakes, cookies, savory bites and more with this amazing flour, which is now easy to find in most grocery stores and online. No fillers, additives, and gums here—just simple, all-natural treats such as: 
     
    Cheddar Biscuits * Skillet Cornbread * Chocolate Chip Scones * Spiced Pumpkin Bread * Carrot Cake * Chocolate Layer Cake * Red Velvet Cupcakes * Pesto Flatbread Pizza * Garlic-Cauliflower Breadsticks * Spinach Mushroom Feta Crêpes * Coconut Shrimp with Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce 
     
    Author and blogger Erica Kerwien (comfybelly.com) will walk you through everything you need to know for using the flour with great results. You’ll also find a handy icon guide for those recipes that are (or can be made) Paleo, grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free and more, so in no time you’ll be whipping up new favorites that will please everyone (and every diet) at your table.

    Taverns and Drinking in Early...

    A look into the role of public houses, taverns, alcohol consumption in colonial American society. 
     
    Sharon V. Salinger's Taverns and Drinking in Early America supplies the first study of public houses and drinking throughout the mainland British colonies. At a time when drinking water supposedly endangered one’s health, colonists of every rank, age, race, and gender drank often and in quantity, and so taverns became arenas for political debate, business transactions, and small-town gossip sessions. Salinger explores the similarities and differences in the roles of drinking and tavern sociability in small towns, cities, and the countryside; in Anglican, Quaker, and Puritan communities; and in four geographic regions. Challenging the prevailing view that taverns tended to break down class and gender differences, Salinger persuasively argues they did not signal social change so much as buttress custom and encourage exclusion. 
     
    Praise for Taverns and Drinking in Early America 
     
    “The most comprehensive survey to date of this curiously underinvestigated aspect of early American social life . . . [Contains] a wealth of illustrative and amusing anecdotes . . . Well researched and informative.” —Simon Middleton, William and Mary Quarterly 
     
    “Offers a fresh perspective on one of the colonial period's most important social institutions and the drinking behavior that was central to it . . . Salinger’s work is compelling throughout . . . A significant and satisfying book.” —Mark Edward Lender, American Historical Review 
     
    “A richly detailed study that helps us understand popular and genteel culture in early America, the place of drink in everyday life, and the relationship between law and perceptions of disorderly behavior.” —Paul G. E. Clemens, Journal of American History
