Henry County’s Cooking with
|
||||||||
|
Our Cook of the Week is Pat Driskell, a retired purchasing agent who was raised on a farm in Kentucky. In her free time Pat enjoys traveling to Las Vegas and taking cruises. Her mom taught her to cook and she loves to prepare banana pudding and cream pies.
The worst recipe she ever tried was a heart healthy cabbage stew and she likes the cookbook Favorite Recipes of the Deep South. The first main dish she remembers preparing is fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy. When asked about food memories, she said “Me and my brother wanted to surprise our parents with a pie, so when I was about 9 or 10 years old we made a pie crust from scratch. It was so bad that the hogs could not even eat it!” If she could have any chef prepare a meal for her it would be Paula Deen making her pot roast with all the trimmings.
