LOL!!! That would be my Mercedes Vidrine collection….
I don’t know if you read my recent post about collecting the cookbooks of Louisiana writer, Mercedes Vidrine? I had been able to find several copies of her collective Louisiana Lagniappe publication as well as a few of the original single cookbooks.
When I published the post, there were two of the original cookbooks that I was still looking to add to my collection.
I’ve been combing through eBay to see if I can find a first edition, first printing.
I was in luck the other day when I came across a copy of Quelque Chose Beaucoup Bon (1973). It claimed to be a first printing and the picture on the listing looked to be right. So, I jumped on it.
And now, here it is!
Nice addition to the Mercedes collection! I think that puts me needing one more and I’ll have most? I think there was a seafood cookbook from later in the 1980’s? I’ll do some searching on that one.
I’ve still got my work cut out for me!
