Are you thinking of cooking something special for the upcoming holidays? or looking for something different to try for the occasion? We have cookbooks offering a wide range of possibilities and methods.

For time and temperatures for meats, poultry, fish, and game, look to The Joy of Cooking. In it, you will also find an herb chart and wine chart to pair with your main course. This cookbook also has a wide selection of recipes for ice cream, mouses, pies, and cakes and when the holiday meal is over, menus for leftovers.

Looking for an award-winning soup or sauce, then What Mrs. Fischer Knows about Old Southern Cooking is where to look. Recipes from the 1880’s that won awards for pickles and sauces with a wide assortment of soups that can be made well in advance of the meal.

Shellfish and medicinal recipes and numerous menu suggestions are featured in The Home Cook Book, another Canadian cookbook of historical value.

A simple pot roast or meatloaf with numerous gravies can be found in the Metropolitan Cook Book along with several interesting recipes for stuffings for meat, poultry, or fish.
