Tastes And Tales: Local Historic Group Releases Cookbook
August 28, 2011
The Jay Historical Society’s new cookbook “Tastes and Tales of the Great Pine Level” are now available for a $20 donation to the society.
“These recipes along with the accompanying photographs and stories, each reveal a bit of our collective heritage in Northwest Florida. Those that came before us may not have preheated their ovens to 350 degrees. Instead, they may have stirred a pot over an open fire or stoked big wood burning stoves to make the food hot. Still they cooked good food-simple maybe, but undeniably satisfying,” is how the historical society describes the 200 page cookbook.
“This book has been a labor of love for the committee working to make this a reality as well as all the community members who shared their recipes, photos and stories of family members both past and present generations. The money generated from the donations for this book, will help the society complete renovations of the future home of the museum and fund future book projects,” said Jane Hayes of the Jay Historical Society.
Cookbooks are available at Jay Pharmacy, Scott’s Furniture/Outdoors, DuraMed, Iron Gate Flowers and Gifts, United Bank, Town of Jay or the Santa Rosa Teachers Credit Union.
Books can be ordered contacting Paula Lewis at (850) 675-3772, Jane Hayes at (850) 675-0406, by emailing jayhistoricalsociety@gmail.com or on Facebook.
Shipping is up to an additional $4 per book.

>>Thank you so much for giving us the much needed publicity.
You are very welcome. Let me know if you need a taste tester for Vol 2.
William,
Thank you so much for giving us the much needed publicity. We hope everyone will enjoy this cookbook so much, that the community members who weren’t able to get us their stories, photos and recipes in time for Volume1 will be ready to help us with volume 2!
Kindest Regards on behalf of the Jay Historical Society,
Jane Hayes
