On the scene in Kentucky, home to most bourbon makers, she reports on the science and love behind the liquor's long, careful production.

Show me a recipe with pecans, and I have to try it."

Pecans includes fifty-two recipes, ranging from traditional to inventive, from uniquely southern to distinctly international, including Bourbon-Orange Pecans, Buttermilk-Pecan Chicken, Pecan Pralines, and Leche Quemada.In addition to the recipes, Purvis delights readers with the pecan's culinary history and its intimate connections with southern culture and foodways.
