Thrifty Finds - July (Week 1) #5 Athens Academy & Down Home Cooking

Athens Academy Cooks with Class, published in 1986. Local private school cookbook with recipes contributed from the Preschool and Lower School Country Fair. The books is quite thick and full of recipes, plus cute drawings and other artwork by the students. I recognize a few of the parents' names - many being former or current clients of mine from various jobs I have held over the years.

Down Home Healthy - Family Recipes of Black American Chefs, published in 1994.  A government NIH pamphlet geared toward the Black American diet. Traditional dishes are given a make-over reducing the fat, cholesterol and sodium commonly found in Southern fare. The chefs re-working the recipes are Johnny Rivers (Walt Disney World) and Leah Chase (Dooky Chase - a New Orleans landmark).
