If we are what we eat, Kat Robinson is made of Arkansas cuisine. The

food historian, travel writer and TV host has spent a lifetime within

The Natural State’s borders, from toddlerhood to teenage years

to adult traveler and explorer. Now the author of Arkansas Food:

The A to Z of Eating in The Natural State sits down with memories,

recollections and ingredients to craft the dishes of her life.

Enjoy this volume of dishes from every era of Robinson’s

life, from country breakfasts to humble desserts, wild game to

metropolitan appetizers, stews, casseroles and so many pies.

Dig into Arkansas favorites such as beans and cornbread, fried

chicken, catfish dinners and pot roast.

This gorgeously photographed collection of authentic, made

and shared culinary items are beautifully paired with stories from

this Arkansas woman’s life, an insight into the dishes that inspired

her to document and share a rich and diverse food history of an

entire state.
