The Swain County Genealogical and Historical Society invites you to enjoy an encore video presentation of Celebrating Southern Appalachian Food: Recipes & Stories from Mountain Kitchens, featuring renowned Appalachian storytellers and authors Jim Casada and Tipper Pressley.


Southern Appalachian food is about far more than recipes. It tells the story of families, communities, and traditions passed from one generation to the next. This engaging presentation explores the rich culinary heritage of the mountains through memorable stories, cherished recipes, and reflections on the people who gathered around Appalachian tables for Sunday dinners, celebrations, and everyday meals. As Casada and Pressley remind us, the region's food traditions are ultimately an invitation to “pull up a chair and take nourishment.”


Whether your roots run deep in the Smokies or you simply appreciate Appalachian history and culture, this program offers a delightful journey into the flavors and memories that helped shape mountain life.
