About meI've had a varied career in the culinary world. Cooking teacher, cooking school owner, food stylist, editor, lecturer, pastry chef, caterer, historian -you name it. At the heart and soul of each of those positions are the thousands of books accumulated over the decades. Opening Kitchen Garden Books is the culmination of my years spent in the kitchen.

About my libraryThe Story of Kitchen Garden Books & Antiques: After a long and varied career in the food world, I opened an antiquarian book store in January 2004, dedicated to the literature of the kitchen and garden. Through the years my personal collection reached several thousand volumes which forms the core of my stock. At the heart of the collection are 19th century American cookery books, charitable and classics. Since moving to the South, it has been my pleasure to acquire books from every lip-smackin' Southern state. Other sideline collections feature early Asian and Hispanic cook books printed in English. There are a hundreds of volumes on French and Italian cooking, many in their native language.
Sell old volumes Of all sorts - used, rare, antiquarian & out-of-print.
Buy old volumes Especially pre-WWI.
Search old volumes Free book searches - "If I don't have it, I'll find where it is!"
Research old volumes For students, writers & researchers.
Talk old volumes Any time, any day.
The bookstore is tucked back off the road in a palmetto, long leaf pine and magnolia setting on an acre of Panhandle hammock. Formerly law offices, the space now is crowded with bookcases in every room. The wrap around porch invites lingering over an old tome or two.

My wife and I have a lot more cookbooks than I have managed to list on LT. Those two pamphlets were in 7 boxes of cookbooks we picked up at an auction a few years ago. At 7$ a box I think it was a deal. I do like the cookbooks with historical significance. I canât wait to cite one of them in a paper for class. âChanges in Domestic Life in Pre-WWII Americaâ would be the perfect topic to feature cookbooks.

I'm not really a cookbook collector despite having quite a few - they are either books bought to use (I enjoy cooking) or a small collection inherited from my mother. That includes the Savannah Cook Book - a rarity on LT. My mother worked for some years in Savannah before WW2 and was sent the book by friends after she returned to the UK.
I'll put you down as an interesting library, if that's OK.

The Mary Frances Cook Book. Mine is the George G Harrap London edition of 1914, printed in the USA. There is a handwritten inscription on the flyleaf - "A book for all girls who love to help Mother. Jane Eayre Fryer". I'm almost sure that it is a printed facsimile. Do you know if that is so?
