Local North Carolina cookbooks get a nod in the News & Observer.

In her 11/28/12 article, My house is home to a bid bug, Andrea Weigl tells of how her affinity for community and church cookbooks all started with a hunt for southern recipes.  Some recipes mentioned include pickles, preserves, cheese biscuits, tuna casserole, spoon bread, and lemon chess pie.  So we scoured our cookbook collection to see if we could locate these treasures too.
