Lynn Tolley is the great-grandneice of Jack Daniels and is the proprietress of Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House Restaurant in Lynchburg TN.
Not all recipes in the book use Jack Daniels but many do. There are lots of great information and photos included among the recipes. Included in the information is How Jack Daniel's is made; About Barrels and Barrel houses; Hog Killing time in Tennessee; Tennessee Walking Horses; Southern Food Something Special; The art of Tall Tales and The Lynchburg Hardware and General Store, to name a few.
If you enjoy cooking with spirits or a bit of history with your recipes, then this would be a good book for your collection.

I am so excited for the opportunity to review Jack Daniel's Spirit of Tennessee Cookbook Vol 1. I am not only excited because I love cookbooks, food and Jack but because I lived in a small town right beside Lynchburg, TN which is home to the Jack Daniel's Distillery. Jack Daniel's is not just about whiskey. It's about food, family and community. This is truly an American iconic brand.
After flipping through the many recipes what really stuck out was the pictures of the people and places that the authors chose to spotlight. There is so much rich history in middle Tennessee and Jack Daniels has been a huge part of this history. This book sets out to capture the "spirit" of this relationship and delivers very nicely. If you or anybody you know has ties to Middle Tennessee, Jack Daniels or loves good home cooking, then this is the book for them.
Two recipes to note:
Cafe Daniel (page 13)
Jack Daniel's Chocolate Velvet Cake (page 156)
