Cookbooks are a legacy of the Civil War. The earliest ones were compiled and sold by Ladies Aid Societies to raise money for military casualties and their families. When hostilities ended, these Societies turned their recipe collections to benefit many causes, hospitals, churches, orphanages, cemetery associations, Confederate relief organizations, Veteran’s groups and more.


In our homes today, as always, life is centered around our kitchens. Some of the recipes are treasured family keepsakes and some are new, however, they all reflect the love of good cooking.


Thanks to everyone who generously contributed their favorite recipes. There are 210 recipes to share. Without your help and cooperation, this book would never have been possible.
