Description

Kat Robinson has dug deep into the state’s mid-20th-century recipe heritage. In Arkansas Cookery, she sifts recipes from church groups, 4-H clubs, school cookbooks, PTA gatherings, and more — those “cookbooks at the edge of the counter” that showed up at every fundraiser, every holiday, every shared meal. 

  • 100+ retro recipes from 20th-century Arkansas: things like Tallerine, Three-Bean Salad, Squash Fritters, Green Rice, Sweet Potato Casserole, Coca-Cola Cake, Ambrosia and more.  
  • Nearly every recipe photographed in full color — because many of the original church or community booklets didn’t have photos, and Kat wanted folks to see what those old favorites actually look like.  
  • Organized for home cooks with nostalgia and practicality: you’ll find the familiar alongside the surprising; some dishes long forgotten, others still in rotation at Sunday dinners.
