The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook
Stories and Recipes for Southerners and Would-be Southerners
2007 James Beard Cookbook of the Year
From the book jacket:
The Lee Bros. long-anticipated first cookbook is a culinary coming-of-age tale, narrated in recipes and amusing anecdotes, of how two boys learned to cook Southern without a Southern grandmother Inside, you’ll find exceptional recipes for Fried Chicken, Crab Cakes, and Red Velvet Cake, the Southern classics that have become restaurant hits around the country. But you’ll also find lesser-known preparations such as St. Cecilia Punch, Frogmore Stew, and Shrimp Burgers—dishes that seem fresh and original agains the backdrop of iconic American comfort food. Also here are recipes that bear the hallmark of the Lee Bros.’ style: simple yet sophisticated dishes such as Hoppin’ John, Scuppernong Grape and Hot-Pepper-Roasted Duck,a Sweet Potato Buttermilk Pie that ushers Southern cooking into the twenty-first century while never losing sight of its deep roots. No one brings the same blend of witty intelligence, reverence and since passion to Southern food culture.

RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~
the English are not noted for their cuisine, but i bought this for the anecdotes and old-style illustrations in pen and ink.
puddings, meats, game, pasties, cheeses, interesting stuff.

RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~
Got this one when I was a kid...and still have it. Actually have still used it now and then.
I would like a new sig line, but am not sure what it should be. So I will just put a tag that says "This space for rent"

I also love those regional church/charity cookbooks, I have a few that a really treasure.
"50 Years 1944-1994" Hope Lutheran Church Cookbook, Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Printed in December 1993.
"Forum Feasts" ("favorite recipes from friends of The Forum School") I have copies from 1970, 1978 and 1988. The Forum School is in Waldwick, NJ
"Helping Hands at Allstate presents The Happy Cooker", published in NY in 1985. I don't remember where it came from, but all funds generated went to local charities. I occasionally still cook some recipes from it.
Nice article about "Forum Feasts" here: http://www.northjersey.com/news/11750530...them_.html

With its fresh voice and delightful humor, Make the Bread, Buy the Butter gives 120 recipes with eminently practical yet deliciously fun “Make or buy” recommendations. Reese is relentlessly entertaining as she relates her food and animal husbandry adventures, which amuse and perplex as well as nourish and sustain her family. Her tales include living with a backyard full of cheerful chickens, muttering ducks, and adorable baby goats; countertops laden with lacto-fermenting pickles; and closets full of mellowing cheeses. Here’s the full picture of what is involved in a truly homemade life—with the good news that you shouldn’t try to make everything yourself—and how to get the most out of your time in the kitchen.

What is that? We have used the English Standard System for pretty much ever.
Does this help?:
60 pounds apples = 1 bushel
52 pounds beans = 1 bushel
24 pounds beets = 1 bushel
56 pounds carrots = 1 bushel
55 pounds flour = 1 bushel
54 pounds onions = 1 bushel
45 pounds parsnips = 1 bushel
50 pounds potatoes = 1 bushel
60 pounds string beans = 1 bushel
60 pounds sweet potatoes = 1 bushel
48 pounds tomatoes = 1 bushel
196 pounds turnips = 1 barrel
1 gill = 1⁄ 2 cup
1 pottle = 2 quarts
1 coomb = 4 bushels
1 wey = 40 bushels
1 last = 80 bushels
1 firkin = 9 gallons
1 anker = 10 gallons
1 runlet = 18 gallons
1 tierce = 42 gallons
1 hogshead = 63 gallons
1 puncheon = 84 gallons
1 butt = 126 gallons
I always knew you were a firken puncheon butt.
