Margaret,Wayt DeBolt This book was originally conceived as a collection of the best recipes from the Savannah NewsPress, a publication dating back to 1850 and including author Joel Chandler Harris of "Uncle Remus" fame among its former editors. Like the Dixie moppet Topsy, Savannah Sampler Cookbook "just growed" to include contributions from acquaintances and relatives. Emma Rylander Law, the friend who has generously consented to act as food consultant in the project, made available her own remarkable collection spanning a distinguished career as home economist, dietician, and Madison Avenue food consultant, as well as family recipes from Burke County. Historic perspective has been provided by the inclusion of vintage recipes from fragile Southern cookbooks long out of date, including two from Savannah. Private collections hereto unpublished have been generously made available, such as those of Mrs. Sopie Meldrim Shonnard and the late Helen Kehoe Crolly. 182x235, ,298 pages, soft cover
