OK, The Dallas Cook Book is also about food and the food business. But what's intriguing is Amy's historical cookbook collection which includes an original edition of the 1901 Lone Star Cook Book, issued a few years ago as a reprint by the Culinary Trust, an adjunct to the International Association of Culinary Professionals, otherwise known as IACP. Amy doesn't actually work at Sevy's - unless you count all the time she spends taking care of chef-owner and hubby Jim Severson.
Here's part of today's post that caught my eye:
I've always said that for a big city, Dallas is a small town. I found a copy of Cocktails to Coffee (1936), by the Dallas Council of Jewish Women at Half-Price Books one day, and since then have wondered if anyone's treasured family recipes are within.Here's a roll call of active contributors: Mrs. Milton Loeb, Mrs. Helen Haas, Mrs. Julius Adler, Mrs. I. Levy, Mrs. Chas. A Levi, Mrs. Albert Kramer, Mrs. Gus Roos, Mrs. Irvine Weil. Anyone you recognize?
Ring a bell with anyone? Now I'm curious.
