Junior League of Augusta Georgia

I was born in Augusta, Gerogia so this cookbook is as familar as anything. Like most Junior League cookbooks of the era, the recipes are largely geared to entertaining and special occasions although the use of canned and frozen foods is alarming, but could easily be adapted by a more contemporary, health conscious cook.

3rd ed. of The Old and New Recipes from the South. 1st pub 1940.

Over 300 pages of southern goodness! Favorites include Praline Bars, Peanut Butter Pie compliments of The French Market Grille, Peach Chutney, Gram's Oyster Pie, Scalloped Oysters, Best "House" Dressing, Cranberry Snow, Strawberry Butter, and Chicken Brunswick Stew.

The other "must have" for collectors of cookbooks from the South. It's a combination of family potluck favorites and special occasion entertaining.
