I do love a good cookbook. The history for this one is amazing, it's southern and has been reprinted over 80 times, first printed in 1959! Many other editions followed, I don't have them yet but will try to find them used in the future. One recipe I remember as a kid was Sugar Steak, and there is a special section in the back about men cooking and their recipes, what a hoot! Who doesn't love a man that can cook?

75. 1st ed. One of the best! From the Foreword: 'On this book please take a chance; Acquaint yourself with the herbs of France, the pastes of Spain, Italian sauce The way a salad should be tossed. Learn how to whip up delectable pie That would make Epicurus blink an eye. All bon vivants will beg to be told The secrets of your cuisine Creole.'
