Self-rising flour and cornmeal—pre-mixed blends of flour or meal, baking powder, and salt—freed home cooks from the guesswork of from-scratch baking and transformed everyday cooking. Throughout the twentieth century, in times of poverty, segregation, electrification, and sweeping change, few inventions gave women more control over their time and table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart historical narrative, part cookbook, this flavorful account starts in Tennessee, the \"\"self-rising capital of the world,\"\" and travels across the southern US. The first half explores how self-rising products not only helped reshape the domestic sphere but further influenced society, culture, and industry. Grain mills, vitamin boosts, and flour-sack fashion made self-rising a Southern staple. Radio jingles, blues tunes, and Grand Ole Opry broadcasts spread the word. The second half of the book offers a rich collection of timeless, fool-proof recipes built for modern kitchens, like chicken and dumplings, fried pickle chips, chewy brownies, and apple crisp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEntertaining and insightful, Self-Rising offers readers a story of nourishment, invention, and resilience told through cornbread skillets, biscuit cutters, and the spirit of Southern cooks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The University Press of Kentucky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42678814834763,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":998.29,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9781985903340-1.jpg?v=1782011993","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/th\/products\/9781985903340","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
