Paula heads to Kentucky to meet a food writer with Scots-Irish roots who shows her how to make the perfect buttermilk-fried chicken. She meets a chef at a farm to table restaurant who is putting mountain ingredients such as squash and buttermilk cheese on his menu. Paula’s last stop is at a dairy farm that makes an unusual but tasty buttermilk ice cream. Paula continues the buttermilk theme in her outdoor mountain kitchen. She makes a buttermilk, lima bean and bacon soup and skillet-cooked biscuits with watermelon, strawberry and coconut jam, and whipped buttermilk cream.
