Southern Living Library index!
2022 March 31/4:32 PM
I’ve indexed the complete Southern Living Cookbook Library—all twenty-two books. You can download a searchable PDF or order a printed copy. There’s an index by title, an index by the contributor’s state, and a contributor name index.- 2020 in Food
- Unsurprisingly, 2020 was a good year for food.
- Cream of Jack-o-Lantern soup
- Use the body parts of your hallowe’en pumpkin to make a tasty, if disconcerting, pumpkin soup.
- Ice cream from your home freezer
- You can make great ice cream with whole eggs, egg yolks, and egg whites. You can even make it without eggs at all. All you need is syrup and cream—and a refrigerator with a freezer or a standalone home freezer.
- Mark the date for π Day!
- Pi Day this year is a Sunday. Here’s a date-pecan pie to celebrate with your friends and family!
- The Missing Index for the Southern Living Cookbook Library
- I’ve compiled an index for all 22 (I think) of the Southern Living Cookbook collection. You can download it here, or buy a print copy if, like me, you prefer browsing.
- Perfect lemon pie for Pi Day
- Did you know that PIE, spelled backward, is March 14? From Southern Living, this easy lemon meringue circular dessert is perfect for tomorrow’s celebrations.
- Popcorn is a many-splendored thing
- Ways to make popcorn besides merely butter and salt. Curried popcorn, popcorn granola, chocolate popcorn, creamy popcorn, and caramel popcorn.
- Roast beef for National Sandwich Day
- Sandwiches are not made by bread alone. And this roast beef recipe is a very simple way of making meat for your sandwiches.
- Southern Living Cookbook for Two
- Cooking for two means doing a lot of math, some of it impossible—how do you cut a raw egg in half?—or which builds up a whole lot of leftovers. My answer has been to only make foods that are so good I don’t mind leftovers, and that store well especially in the freezer, but this book has me rethinking that strategy.
- The Southern Living Cookbook Library
- One of the best magazine-related cookbook series is also the one of the hardest to find. The Southern Living Cookbook Library appears to be under the radar of food writers online, but it either had a very low print run or few people want to get rid of their copies.
More Information
- The Southern Living Cookies and Candy Cookbook• (hardcover)
- This is the book that convinced me to collect this series. Oatmeal-butter cookies, peanut butterscotch bars, blonde brownies, peanut-meringue squares, molasses sandwich cookies, and more.
