Among the recommended cookbooks presented by Mary Anne Loy Saturday was "Mrs. Wiggs of The Cabbage Patch" which came from/or led to "Cabbage Patch Famous Recipes of Kentucky." Even if you don’t want to cook, she said, this is fun book to read about people who found themselves living in Louisville, barely getting by in the old part of Louisville. They all had outdoor gardens and they grew and lived on lots of cabbage - it must be easy to grow. The photos behind the books are of her mother, Ila Mae Rankin Martin, on the left and her grandmothers on the right who, she said, were gave her the most guidance in food management and cooking growing up in Harrodsburg, KY. Center photo is of her Grandfather and Grandmother, Carl Vernon and Sara Stewart Martin, and at far right is Jessie Denton Rankin, Mary Anne's mother’s mother. Comments | Permalink
