The Randomness of Food Trends Past at the Antique Store

The Southern Junior League Cookbook by Ann Seranne

January 2, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader 5 Comments

I don’t especially care for antique stores, but sometimes they do have interesting books, especially things like The Southern Junior League Cookbook. This book dates to the late seventies, and has recipes from about 30 different Junior League cookbooks from North Carolina to Florida, and Georgia to Texas. A lot of it is the sort of thing you’d expect, home cookery recipes and what we might now call ‘hacks’ for most of your basic categories from Appetizers and Soup to Meat and Poultry to Grains-Beans-Peas […]

Goldy Bear is a caterer in somewhere Colorado raising her son, tangling with her abusive ass of an ex-husband, and of course, being also tangled up with people who die under mysterious circumstances. Tangled is a good word for this book […]

Culinary Catnip (for me, anyway)

The Apprentice by Jacques Pepin

January 17, 2017 by Kiasha 2 Comments

I’m a complete sucker for food-related books, especially biographies and memoirs. If you have a recipe collection with a few essays woven in? I’m in heaven. The Apprentice was a stand-out in this regard, since it had food, biography, and France, so I was completely unable to resist its many many charms. More uncontrollable gushing can be found here! Sidebar: searching for an amazon link for this book mostly got me links to a certain reality TV series, and now my delightful high from this […]
