Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Ouita's Sardou panini

    • BeckyLeJ on August 26, 2021

      I really like this one but plan to add more spice next time around.

  • Spinach artichoke spread

    • BeckyLeJ on August 26, 2021

      Recipe makes a lot, definitely bake the rest for dip— super good!

  • Feta walnut spread

    • BeckyLeJ on August 26, 2021

      Paired this with the sun dried tomato olive tapenade to make an approximation of the wrap mentioned in the notes (no asparagus, but I used turkey) it was excellent!

  • Wallace Station tuna salad

    • Devons on November 29, 2021

      Excellent. Used oil packed Italian tuna very well drained. The spices add a lot.

  • Hot turkey salad

    • BeckyLeJ on August 26, 2021

      This is so good! I think it would be equally good with ham or chicken subbed for the turkey. (I made a half batch and it still made a ton!)

  • Bourbon Trail chili

    • Devons on November 29, 2021

      Outstanding. Used Spicewalla’s Dark Chilli Powder for depth of flavor. Used a yellow and an orange bell pepper not green. Used smoked paprika not bourbon smoked paprika no problem.

  • Creamy coleslaw

    • Devons on November 04, 2025

      Perfectly balanced, classic dressing.

Publishers Text

Wallace Station and Windy Corner are situated in some of the most beautiful farmland in the entire world. The mist rising above the gentle rolling, brilliantly green pastures running with foals is breathtaking. Horsemen and women come in for steaming cups of coffee and piled-high biscuit sandwiches or plates of grits and eggs. It's in settings like these where Ouita Michel's menus shine. Featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients from local farmers, Michel's restaurants capture what makes Bluegrass and Appalachian food so special.

In Just a Few Miles South: Timeless Recipes from Our Favorite Places, Ouita Michel, Sara Gibbs, and Genie Graf introduce readers to some of the recipes which patrons of Michel's restaurants have come to know and love. Featuring Windy Corner Market recipes for cheese grits; red-eye gravy; and country ham, apple and cheddar quiches; they spotlight and explore the ingredients of a quintessential old-fashioned Kentucky breakfasts. Along the way, they introduce readers to the Wallace Cubano (a take on a traditional Cuban sandwich) as well as a Bourbon Banh Mi with a country pate.

Covering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, these time-tested recipes will allow those looking to bring a bit of southern cooking back to their home kitchen a chance to explore the best that Kentucky has to offer.
