BAY LEAVES: A Collection of Recipes, first published in 1975 by the Junior League of Panama City, Florida, has been inducted into the Southern Living Hall of Fame and received Wimmer Cookbooks' initial Hall of Fame award. The extensive cookbook, comprising over 300 pages and containing beloved recipes of the Florida Panhandle, is cherished by many cooks and collectors even after 45+ years.
The comb bound hardcover cookbook is in very good used condition. There is some light discoloring on some of the page edges--particularly on the top. No bent edges, tears and handwritten notes inside. The Southern Living Hall of Fame sticker is on the front. This is a copy from the eleventh printing in 1993.

Originally created and used by women's groups for charitable purposes, these cookbooks contain valuable information on cooking techniques, kitchen tools, and household advice. They also serve as unofficial historical records, providing insight into the norms and values of the time period.
The first of these charity cookbooks in America, A Poetical Cookbook by Maria J. Moss, was published in 1864 to raise funds for injured Union soldiers during the Civil War.
Today, community cookbooks continue to be successful fundraisers for Junior Leagues, church groups, school organizations, hospital auxiliaries and other charitable groups across the country.
