TEA-TIME AT THE MASTERS: A Collection of Recipes is a popular regional cookbook published in 1977 by the Junior League of Augusta Georgia. Submissions include recipes from well-known golf clubs and resorts--Augusta, Royal and Ancient St. Andrews, Pebble Beach, Pinehurst, The Homestead, Broadmoor Hotel, and Firestone, popular chefs, and wives of Masters Tournament players. There is even a pastry recipe from Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower. 

The 294-page comb-bound cookbook is in near mint condition.  It measures 9" high by 6" wide without the plastic comb. This is a copy is the tenth printing in 1989.

Just a quick heads‑up: the photos reveal details far better than text alone, so they’re worth a close review.

We share as much accurate information as possible about each item—from provenance to condition—but the images often show the nuances best. If you ever need more details, we’re always happy to help.

The Legacy of Community Cookbooks

Community cookbooks are valued for their historical significance, their role in fundraising, and their ability to preserve culinary traditions. Often passed down through families with handwritten notes on time-worn pages, they reveal an intimate look into American culture and social norms—particularly the role of women.

Naming conventions like "Mrs. John A. Smith" reflect the hierarchy and identity of women during an era of limited societal power; while the recipes reflect food trends, kitchen technologies, and patterns of cultural assimilation. These cookbooks trace the larger story of America as it was reshaped by immigration, urban growth, and industrial change.

The tradition began during the Civil War with Maria J. Moss's, A Poetical Cookbook (1864), which raised funds for soldiers' families. Junior League organizations are major publishers, first publishing The Junior League Recipe Book (1930). Many have maintained popularity through the generations—like Charleston Receipts (1950), the oldest community cookbook that is still in print today.
