Eat Your Bourbon is a beautifully designed and colorfully photographed must-have cookbook that celebrates the unique range of Kentucky’s Bourbon Country. From starters, to desserts, to — of course — drinks, Matt Jamie makes eating your own bourbon easy. The book includes a variety of ways to use the infamous Bourbon Barrel Food products including Bourbon Smoked Spices, as well as ways to integrate the most Southern of liquors. Bourbon Barrel Foods has a large collection of gourmet foods that embrace the history of Kentucky’s Bourbon Country. All of their items are handcrafted in small batches in Louisville, Kentucky. They use reclaimed barrels straight from Kentucky’s finest bourbon distilleries as a smoking and aging agent. Their popular “EAT YOUR BOURBON” slogan embodies this idea and has catapulted many of their products to the forefront of the culinary scene.
