About meI've had a varied career in the culinary world. Cooking teacher, cooking school owner, food stylist, editor, lecturer, pastry chef, caterer, historian -you name it. At the heart and soul of each of those positions are the thousands of books accumulated over the decades. Opening Kitchen Garden Books is the culmination of my years spent in the kitchen.

About my libraryThe Story of Kitchen Garden Books & Antiques: After a long and varied career in the food world, I opened an antiquarian book store in January 2004, dedicated to the literature of the kitchen and garden. Through the years my personal collection reached several thousand volumes which forms the core of my stock. At the heart of the collection are 19th century American cookery books, charitable and classics. Since moving to the South, it has been my pleasure to acquire books from every lip-smackin' Southern state. Other sideline collections feature early Asian and Hispanic cook books printed in English. There are a hundreds of volumes on French and Italian cooking, many in their native language.
Sell old volumes Of all sorts - used, rare, antiquarian & out-of-print.
Buy old volumes Especially pre-WWI.
Search old volumes Free book searches - "If I don't have it, I'll find where it is!"
Research old volumes For students, writers & researchers.
Talk old volumes Any time, any day.

The bookstore is tucked back off the road in a palmetto, long leaf pine and magnolia setting on an acre of Panhandle hammock. Formerly law offices, the space now is crowded with bookcases in every room. The wrap around porch invites lingering over an old tome or two.

My interest in slavery will end in 13 weeks, when I turn in a paper for a class I am taking on the history of medicine. We were to find a topic prior to 1800 dealing with European medicine. I managed to get it modified to âWesternâ medicine and am looking at how the plantations treated disease in their slaves. It was the best I could do to get it related to my real interest, labor history in the Americas.

My wife and I have a lot more cookbooks than I have managed to list on LT. Those two pamphlets were in 7 boxes of cookbooks we picked up at an auction a few years ago. At 7$ a box I think it was a deal. I do like the cookbooks with historical significance. I canât wait to cite one of them in a paper for class. âChanges in Domestic Life in Pre-WWII Americaâ would be the perfect topic to feature cookbooks.

I added the book you asked about and the Sweet Potato booklet I mentioned over the weekend. It looks like you already have the Italian booklet. You can see them in the Most Recent Activity on my profile.

I will be happy to dig it out for you this weekend. I should enter it and on I have from a railroad just for sweet potatoes on LT. Have you seen this one? http://www.librarything.com/work/book/25... It is where I learned about âlardingâ.

Thanks for your expert opinion, Lynn. It is interesting that a couple of old copies for sale on Alibris are described by the sellers as "signed by author" on the basis of this facsimilie. I noted the title variations in MerryMary's LT review - new to me.

I'm not really a cookbook collector despite having quite a few - they are either books bought to use (I enjoy cooking) or a small collection inherited from my mother. That includes the Savannah Cook Book - a rarity on LT. My mother worked for some years in Savannah before WW2 and was sent the book by friends after she returned to the UK.

I'll put you down as an interesting library, if that's OK.

Hi, Lynn.

We share this book
http://www.librarything.com/work/678298/...
The Mary Frances Cook Book. Mine is the George G Harrap London edition of 1914, printed in the USA. There is a handwritten inscription on the flyleaf - "A book for all girls who love to help Mother. Jane Eayre Fryer". I'm almost sure that it is a printed facsimile. Do you know if that is so?

Regards

Greetings! Don't know if you care that much about covers, but I thought I'd let you know that I just posted a jpg for Home Helps by Sarah Tyson Rorer, a beautiful small cookbook/pamphlet from 1898 that you and I share. Cheers from San Francisco!

Just thought I'd say hello as you and I are the only two on LT iwth Ice Cream and Cakes. Mine was given me by my mother-in-law; her mother used it in the wilds of Montana and the turn of the century. It's the 1895 printing and in very used condition but I treasure it.

Only one book shared, but its a good one. One that I have cooked from for many years. Mine is the modern reprint by Michael Waterfield (No qualms about taking this into the kitchen). Waterfield had a wonderful restaurant called the Wife of Bath near where I grew up in Kent. Hardly any garden books though? I was expecting a split between two of my main interests.
