Calling All Cooks Cookbook

Happy Homemakers Club • Carrabelle, Florida • 1982

Own a piece of forgotten Florida history and the most charming community cookbook you’ll ever flip through.

This is the legendary cookbook famous for its cover photo: the World’s Smallest Police Station — a red phone booth on Highway 98 in downtown Carrabelle that’s been stopping traffic (and making national TV) since the 1980s. Featured on the Today Show, Real People, and the Tonight Show, this tiny landmark is pure Forgotten Coast magic — and now it can sit proudly in your digital cookbook library.

Inside these pages are over 125 pages of real, handed-down, no-nonsense recipes from the Happy Homemakers Club ladies of Carrabelle. These are the recipes your grandma wished she had written down — the ones people still talk about at church suppers and fish fries.

You’ll find:

• Ants on a Log (yes, the classic kids still beg for)
• Cold Salmon Mousse in a fish mold that will steal the show at every party
• Crab Mold, Oyster Cracker Snack, Party Cheese Ball
• Proper Southern vegetable sides, church-supper main dishes, and desserts that make you weak in the knees
• The famous “Food Quantities for 25, 50, and 100 Servings” chart — worth the price of admission alone if you ever feed a crowd

This isn’t some glossy celebrity chef book. This is peanut butter on celery, cream cheese & chipped beef dip, recipes written on index cards and typed up with love in 1982. It smells like a Florida Cracker kitchen even in PDF form.

**Your purchase includes both versions:

• High-resolution PDF (beautiful scans — looks just like holding the original spiral-bound book)
• Fully searchable/text-selectable PDF (find “crab” or “lemon” in seconds)

Perfect for:

• Anyone who grew up on the Forgotten Coast
• Vintage cookbook collectors
• People who want real recipes that actually work
• Folks who just love that quirky red phone booth
