About this ebook
If you’ve ever ventured seventy miles south of Nashville to the quaint farming town of Lynchburg, you already know that it is justifiably famous for two things: Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 and the legendary spread of Southern cooking at Miss Mary Bobo’s Boarding House.
The recipes in this collection combine two of Tennessee’s most celebrated cultural treasures into a guide for home cooks eager to capture the spirit of Lynchburg in their own kitchens.
Written by Miss Mary Bobo’s own Lynne Tolley and food writer Mindy Merrell, this cookbook distills the essence of Lynchburg life into something tangible you can experience whenever you need it.
Join Lynne, Jack Daniel’s own great-grandniece, as she shares family secrets, legacies, and heirloom recipes.
You’ll get a crash course in Southern cooking along the way, with a primer on the ingredients and techniques found in any good ol’ Lynchburg kitchen such as:
- grits and ham hocks,
- iron skillet seasoning,
- self-rising cornmeal and more
All the pillars of a country kitchen are covered. Push up your sleeves, pour yourself a tall glass of Lynchburg Lemonade, and get ready to whip up some Moore County favorites.
Jack Daniel’s Cookbook gives readers a taste of life in the old Bobo Hotel and shows how you can treat your own guests with the same trademark hospitality Miss Mary extended at her boarding house.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I received this book to review (my cover is different) and I have to admit I expected it to be all recipes using Jack Daniel's as an ingredient. So before it arrived I sent the hubby out shopping... I was pleasantly surprised to find that the book was a mix of recipes; some using the whiskey, others without. My biggest surprise was that this was not a new cookbook but rather a reprint from 1988 of a 1950 book. What made me look at the dates where the recipes. They are, as the book says, pulled from Southern family traditions and some of them have not worn well. Others are still classic and will always be. I will never cook possum - although that reference was a joking one. The book is full of photos rich in the history of the Jack Daniel's distillery and the Tennessee Smokey Mountains area. They were a hoot to look through and made the book fun to browse. The various tales that were told in each chapter added local color and were interesting. The bulk of the recipes for entrees and sides are laden with butter, cream and bacon. Now I have nothing against butter, cream and bacon but you can't eat that way too often or you won't be here long enough to enjoy all that butter, cream and bacon! A clever cook can modify them to suit today's lighter tastes. The appetizers are staples of 60ies cocktail parties and with the current fascination for "Mad Men" would make a good resource for a throwback party. One dessert is going to show up in my holiday plans and that is the Jack Daniel's Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie. Old Fashioned, yes. Classic, yes. But I'll bet it's going to be good.There are a number of barbeque sauces in the book. This is a Southern Cookbook after all. When summer rolls around I am sure I will break out that bottle my husband bought and try a few. He doesn't drink but wine and beer so I know I will have it on hand for a bit of experimentation.
