What's Cookin' in Saint Augustine
Discover the Flavors of History: "What's Cookin' in Saint Augustine"
Step back in time to 1972 with this charming vintage cookbook compiled by the Altrusa Club of Saint Augustine, Florida—the nation's oldest city. Born from a passion for preservation, this collection helped fund the restoration of the historic Fernandez-Llambias House, one of St. Augustine's oldest treasures dating back to the Spanish colonial era. Now, you can bring a piece of that heritage into your kitchen with a digital download that captures the essence of Southern hospitality, international flair, and timeless home cooking.
Inside these 96 pages, you'll find a delightful array of recipes blending local St. Augustine favorites with contributions from Altrusa sisters worldwide—from Belfast, Ireland, to Christchurch, New Zealand, and beyond. Savor the heat of Datil Pepper and Pear Relish, a fiery Florida classic, or whip up Pickled Shrimp for your next gathering. Dive into comforting soups like Spanish Bean Soup or Doriot Pea Soup, fresh salads such as Cranberry Fluff, and hearty mains including Gaelic Steak, Shrimp with Rice (Puerto Rican Style), and Polynesian Spareribs. Don't miss the creative twists on vegetables, like Calabanza Espanol (Spanish Squash) or French Fried Cauliflower, plus wild game recipes for adventurous cooks.
Adorned with whimsical illustrations, a heartfelt kitchen prayer, and practical tips (like building the perfect canape tray), this cookbook isn't just recipes—it's a snapshot of community, tradition, and joy in every meal. Whether you're recreating family dinners, hosting parties, or exploring global tastes with a Southern accent, these tried-and-true dishes from yesteryear will inspire your modern table.
Your purchase includes two versatile formats: a high-resolution PDF for crisp, print-ready pages with all the original artwork intact, and a fully searchable PDF to quickly find any recipe by ingredient or name.
