Books from Mississippi
What’s more fun than a box of mostly vintage cookbooks from a reader? One book had a recipe for this beautiful cardamom braid.

Cook and baker extraordinaire Helen Fields is the Pride of Paradise. Texas, that is. Read about her winning recipes, and the cookbooks sent to The Culinary Cellar.
