Don’t overlook Talk About Good from Lafayette, LA–it may be the best selling JL cookbook of all time but maybe I am biased-especially for my mum’s marinated mushrooms!

I think you’d love our Fort Myers cookbook…Mrs Thomas Edison’s Deviled Crab is a favorite recipe from the JL-Fort Myers book, “Tropical Settings.”

I love following your blog, I hope to start my collection of JL cookbooks as I am just starting my provisional year! The Tallahassee Junior League is pre-selling a new cookbook this summer/fall. It is called Thyme to Celebrate. Anyone interested in a cookbook swap? Let me know!

Hello!
I am a huge fan of the Junior League Cookbooks. Right now I am making a Facebook group dedicated to all Junior League cookbooks. It has been a daunting task (one I am still in the middle of) and there are well near 300 books at least! I have found many scarce books as well, and some so scarce I cannot find a photo anywhere. If you are on facebook, check it out! Just search “Junior League Cookbooks” in the search (there are hardly any results) my group is the one with the stylish photo of the “Charleston Receipts” on it. Hopefully all of these books may give you an idea of which ones you may want to try in the future!
Also… All of your recipes look absolutely delicious! If I could make a suggestion… “Cotton Country Cooking” From the Junior League of Morgan County (Decatur, AL) 1972. The Shrimp Gruyere recipe is to die for!!!
Oh… And I have definitely bookmarked this wonderful blog! 🙂
