About the Author
Tammy Wynette grew up on a sharecropper farm in Itawamba County, Mississippi. When she was born, her family had no running water, no indoor plumbing, and no stove. They would have to cook over an open fire and hand-carry water drawn from a nearby spring.
From these humble beginnings, Wynette was considered the undisputed First Lady of Country Music. Winner of two Grammy Awards and three-time winner of the Country Music Association's Female Vocalist of the Year Award, Mrs. Wynette performed on every continent, in hundreds of cities, and in almost every state in the U.S. However, she never lost touch with her roots.
On her home farm in Mississippi, she developed a natural love for fresh vegetables, savory meats, and homemade breads. To stay out of the cotton fields, she learned to cook as a child, and her fondest memories were of her mother and grandmother in the kitchen, with the smell of fried apple pie wafting through the house.
