Remembering Mrs. Dull
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
For many Southern cooks, the most indispensable cookbook in their collection is not “The Joy of Cookiing.” Rather, it’s their copy of “Southern Cooking” by Mrs. S.R. Dull, the longtime editor of the Atlanta Journal who is considered by a number of cooking experts to have been one of the most influential regional cooks of her time. First published in 1928, that original edition was reprinted in 1989 by Cherokee Publishing and is still in print. Click here to read the full story. And now it’s got some competition: the University of Georgia Press has just come out with a reprint of the 1941 edition, with a new forward by Savannah food historian Damon Lee Fowler. Are you familiar with Mrs. Dull? Has she made an impression on you as a cook? Do you have a favorite Mrs. Dull recipe?
