A heartwarming collaboration between a mother and her 11-year-old daughter has resulted in a one-of-a-kind cookbook and history guide celebrating the wild, flavorful ramp. Titled Keep on Stinkin’: Appalachian Ramp History Guide & Cookbook, the book blends delicious recipes with the fascinating cultural and historical journey of this beloved wild leek, showcasing the duo’s creativity and shared passion for food and storytelling.

Ramps (Allium Tricoccum), also known as wild leeks, garlic or onions or even ramsons or wood leeks, are a native North American bulbous perennial flowering plant in the amaryllis family. They have played an essential role in Appalachian and Indigenous diets for centuries. They are celebrated for their pungent flavor, which is a blend of garlic and onion, and their brief, highly anticipated growing season each spring.

Keep on Stinkin’ explores Appalachia’s rich cultural history with a food journey through the ages. This cookbook features a brief history of ramps along with nearly 60 Appalachian-inspired recipes showcasing this wild plant as the star ingredient. These dishes honor traditional mountain cooking with a focus on foraged ingredients, cast-iron skillets, and rustic flavors. Written by Kathryn Donev and her daughter Kariyana, Keep on Stinkin’ is an intergenerational cookbook celebrating their shared love for cooking. Kathryn is an avid home cook who has authored several globally available cookbooks while Kariyana is a young food enthusiast with a talent for crafting bold, unique flavor combinations.
