’Tis the Season for Apple Stack Cake in Appalachia
Apple Stack Cake holds a special place in Appalachian food traditions. Often served during Thanksgiving and Christmas, this layered dessert reflects the ingenuity and resourcefulness of mountain cooks. Unlike typical cakes, Apple Stack Cake is made from several thin layers of cake stacked with a spiced apple filling. The layers are firm, more like a cookie than a soft sponge, and the filling made from apples, sugar, and warming spices softens the cake over time.

At the time, I didn’t realize how much this dish would follow me — across countries, kitchens, and the different stages of my career. Yet every time I prepare it, I feel a connection to that first experience.

Beyond Sushi: Why Japanese Cuisine Stands Out for Health and Culture . AI-Generated.
How Japanese food differs from other countries—and what it can teach us about living well When many people outside Japan think of Japanese food, the first image that comes to mind is sushi: neat rolls of rice, raw fish, and seaweed served with soy sauce and wasabi. While sushi is iconic, it represents only a small fraction of what Japanese cuisine—known as washoku—has to offer. In fact, Japanese food was recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, celebrated for its seasonal sensitivity, variety, and emphasis on harmony. But beyond its artistry, Japanese cuisine is also deeply linked to health and longevity, setting it apart from many other food cultures around the world.
