KNOWLES, Laura Thornton

Southern Recipes Tested By Myself

New York: George H. Doran Company, 1913. First Edition. 7.5 x 5", rust cloth with white lettering and illustration, [14], 61 pp. A cookbook of southern recipes by Laura Thornton Knowles, about whom we could glean little other than that she likely hailed from Pensacola, Florida. Includes recipes for southern dishes such as okra gumbo, crab jambalaya, and barbecued pig, as well as three recipes for alcoholic drinks--mint julep, egg nog, and peach blow. A very good copy with wear to corners and spine tips, 1/2 inch tear to cloth at upper spine, hint of foxing and smudging to endpapers. Item #10891
