Some people use bourbon in ways other than as an adult beverage.

David Domine, a Louisville author, has recognized this fact and has compiled a cookbook using a “splash of bourbon…”

Bourbon is used from beginning to end of a meal, including before and after. Breads, stews, salads, and desserts have all known the gentle kiss of bourbon from Kentucky cooks over the ages.

As the author writes this is…

a collection of original recipes that will help you enjoy bourbon’s distinctive flavors in anything from crumpets and cakes to dressings and dumplings, and pilafs and purees. So grab your favorite bottle and get ready to fritter, flambe and fricassee away with the Bluegrass Peasant in Splash of Bourbon, Kentucky’s Spirit.

“David Domine creates a fun, spirited romance between bourbon and food,” says Sharon Thompson, food writer for the Lexington Herald-Leader and author of Flavors of Kentucky, and Recipes From a Kentucky Blackberry Patch.
