I love local cookbooks. The Junior League cookbooks are a fun
souvenir.

My mother-in-law recently gave me a box of her old cookbooks. There
are some treasures. I have really enjoyed looking through these old
books. One of them is _Jambalaya_ by the New Orleans Junior League.
It was the official cookbook of the 1984 World's Fair. I have
another book from her hometown. There is one from an Exxon
employee group. She used to work for Exxon. She has a recipe in that
one.

Other local cookbooks in my collection:
River Road Recipes
Charleston Receipts
Calling All Cooks 1 and 2
A church cookbook from my hometown
A church cookbook from my grandmother's church

I had that River Road book, along with some kind of Louisiana Junior
League book - bought them in N'awlins when I was there for a meeting.
I never found anything in them that appealed to me, though (I'm not
into crawdaddies) and I think I sold them at a garage sale.

I did have one junior league I got through Southern Living magazine -
can't remember which one it was - maybe Jackson, MS, or Atlanta or
Savannah .... just can't remember. I think I sold it, too ;-) I have
two shelves of my favorite books - I got rid of the others because I
just never used them.

But they can be fun to flip through and sometimes you find a gem or
two. What say you?

I buy them occasionally. Not very often though.
