Traditions, Christmas trees, and bounce!

Much like the family cooking traditions featured in North Carolina: An Appetizing State, this evening will find many families flocking to another family tradition—the annual tree-lighting ceremony at the State Capitol. We are pleased to feature a shot of inside the Capitol in our cookbook with a beautiful full-page photograph by Emily Chaplin. Chaplin, originally from Charlotte, took this picture last year in the Capitol rotunda as part of a series photographed for the December 2014 issue of Our State magazine.

In addition to sharing this beautiful image, the cookbook also contains a recipe for Cherry Bounce that is rumored to have played a role in the location of the Capital City. We couldn’t resist sharing the recipe, and the story, too.
