Critics Review
”[The] recipes … are clearly and concisely written and easy to follow.” – Advocate
“A tribute to the spirit of the South.” – Wilmington Star-News
“An intoxicating journey through the history of bourbon… using [Purvis’s] trademark wicked wit and Southern food knowledge to entice your food curiosity as well as your palate.” – Creative Loafing Charlotte
“Kentucky’s signature spirit proves itself worthy of a place in the pantry.” – Lexington Herald-Leader
“Out to dispel this awful misconception that bourbon is only designed for pre or post dinner discussions… [Purvis] takes bourbon from the bar into the kitchen.” – Mobile Press-Register
“Purvis provides a belly warming small batch of whiskey facts about Kentucky’s greatest export.” – Tampa Tribune
“SAVOR THE SOUTH – designed to give Dixie’s most time-honored ingredients their due.” – Garden & Gun
“There’s nothing wrong with drinking your bourbon with some mint and simple syrup or sipping it straight up, but bourbon adds flavor to cakes and pies, livens up salad dressings, enhances the tang of a meat marinade, and jazzes up a hot dog. So let’s think about adding a few more splashes of bourbon to our meals.” – Lexington Herald-Leader
