The Mississippi Cookbook was prepared to collect, make available, and preserve the favorite recipes of fine cooks throughout Mississippi. More than fifty years ago, over 7,000 recipes were collected from all areas of the state. From this total, the home economists of the Mississippi Cooperative Extension Service had the painfully difficult task of screening the amount down to the 1,200 best recipes.
The names of the individuals who submitted follow each recipe and, in some cases, historical data about the dish is included. A special section includes favorite recipes of the wives of former governors. The appendices feature tables and charts that provide such valuable technical information as substitutions and equivalents, measuring ingredients, time and temperature guides, definitions, and servings.
Featuring a foreword from renowned chef and storyteller Martha Hall Foose, this comprehensive collection of Mississippi's most popular recipes records the state's culinary heritage and its mastery of home cooking.
