| About Home and Away Three years in the making, Home and Away is a collection of stories, recipes, essays, poetry, regional history, and foodlore from over 500 contributors, whose common bond is East Tennessee State University. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends, and notable campus visitors have contributed over 1,000 entries, accompanied by some 400 photographs, in an effort to document the rich culinary heritage of this one university community. In Home and Away, you’ll find heirloom recipes from Southern Appalachia alongside international dishes from all over the world--“Killed” Lettuce from Southwest Virginia and Japanese Pork Tonkatsu, Molasses Stack Cake and Polish Christmas Cookies. ETSU is located just a short distance away from Jonesborough, Tennessee’s oldest town and the “storytelling capital of the world,” and in keeping with that tradition, Home and Away describes the difficulty a Kingsport writer has in finding grits in Vermont, relates the story of a “$35,000 Slice of Country Ham,” and tells how an early East Tennessee State Normal School student’s career took an unexpected path after she tasted Potato Caramel Cake.
