Just Got My Hands on a Hard-to-find Local Cookbook!

D.H. Holmes Bayou Banquet Cookbook
I was telling my wife that this was on my wish list, but the only one I ever saw for sale was listed at $100 on Amazon. And somebody eventually did buy it for that price. Out of curiosity, she did a search and lo and behold there was this one for $11!
What is your most coveted cookbook?
PS - and if any of you want a recipe out of this book, let me know.

I already own it.
In the 60s my father and his father were fishing down off Blood River. My dad said they got back to the landing, and while he was loading stuff in the truck he noticed my grandfather talking for a while with a man holding a notebook. They talked for about 10 minutes before my grandfather got back into the truck and headed home. The man told my grandfather he was about to come out with his first cookbook soon and wanted to know if he was interested in receiving a copy. Grandfather gave the man his name and address, along with an alligator snapping turtle they caught that day. Several months later a package came in the mail. Inside the front cover it read "To the Tenfoe family, thank you for the turtle, God Bless. - Justin Wilson"
When my grandmother died I took the cookbook. Front cover was gone by this time. It's Justin Wilson, so it's not like an original signed Johnny Cash album, more like an original signed Luke Bryan album, but special to me nonetheless.

While living in NY, an Italian family from Long Island had me over for Christmas. I went nuts over the spread they had. They gave me Dom Delouise's cookbook, "Eat This. It'll Make You Feel Better".
I highly recommend it for Italian family style cooking.

Our families copy of the "River Road recipe" cookbook is most cherished.

I am not sure what all recipes are in there from their old Potpourri restaurants but I worked in a mall in Jackson, MS that had the first DH Holmes store in the area in it and I ate lunch or dinner there ALL the time. And I always ended it with a particular chocolate cookie they had that I have tried to duplicate forever. Can you see if there is a chocolate cookie recipe in there? It had nuts and was crispy and crackled on the outside but sort of puffed and hollowish inside that made it chewy. And it was a really rich deep chocolate fudgy flavor.
Any chance I could pay you to have a copy made for me?

Rat - D.H. Holmes was my mother's favorite store, so I have a lot of memories of shopping with her at the Canal St. store and also Bon Marche. We ate lunch at the Canal St. store often (can't remember if it was a restaurant or cafeteria), but they had the best vegetable soup. Any chance that recipe is in the book? Thanks!

I have a 3 ring binder that only has recipes I have made and tinkered with.
I also print the tiger droppings cookbook and notate the hell out of it.

I have been trying to find the recipe for a Chocolate French silk Pie. It was a9 in pie, crust was made with chou pastry,and it was filled with a dark chocolate filling.The top of the pie was decorated with tiny profiteroles filled with the chocolate filling. Pie crust looked like a regular pie. I would love to have the complete recipe--a fave of mine as a child,--but the most important thing I want to know is how the chou paste pie shell was baked. I envy your find.

Not a recipe, but I would probably kill for the Leblanc's Krab Salad recipe
Well....pretty much all of those recipes from their deli
