Cookbooks have aided kitchen cooks for centuries and come to reflect culture beyond just recipes. Cookbooks offer a historiographical glimpse into the zeitgeist of ingredients, gridnutrition, morals, manners, and faddish trends.

Common Ground is pleased to share this sometimes amusing chronology dating from the Confederacy—capturing culinary treasures from Creole to ketogenic to cooking with cannabis. We trust you’ll rediscover old friends and maybe find some new ones.
