Cookbooks --- I found a whole list of rare ones!

[choclatechef]

I was minding my own business this morning, searching the internet for a photo of an African American chef I could use as my avatar, and I ran into this great site!

Apparently someone donated tons of African American cookbooks to the University of Alabama! They listed them, and I copied the list to use as a basis of determining what I am going to need to buy!


Here is the link: http://www.lib.ua.edu/lupton.htm

I thought maybe mudbug, Audeo, Southerncook, and a few others might be interested in some of these cookbooks.

What do you Think?

Wow, Chocolatechef, what a find! You have all sorts of things to add to the "what do you want for Christmas" thread now, don't you?!?!

 

[choclatechef]

Sure do PA!

Unfortunately, if I want cookbooks, I will have to buy them myself. No one is llikely to buy me one.

 

[mudbug]

Oh, darn, another way to spend money on food and food-related things. thanks for the link, choc!

 

[Audeo]

Wow. That is one huge collection they have amassed! I'd like to spend a couple of days thumbing through some of those books with a big notepad at my side!

Wow choclate.......good luck in finding them. I'll keep my eye out for any african-american cookbooks at sales I go to. We already have the one book in common. If I find any I'll let you know. Good Luck!

 

[choclatechef]

You are a real peach Sizzlinin! XOXOX!

awwww thanks choclate....I get just as excited when I find something someone else is looking for as when I find something I'm looking for. If I can do the same for someone else the smile is more than worth it . I'm trying to steer clear of collecting anymore cookbooks myself becaue I'm running out of room to store them. But I love leafing through them and magazines and writing down just those recipes I truely want to try out. Have a great day!
