We all got a binder of fam recipes years ago for Xmas. I think the only one we still regularly use is marinating chicken kabobs in French dressing before grilling.

I suspect you'd find a lot more of these cookbooks in households, Goodwills and used bookstores around the southern US. There's two in my collection that pretty much define the landscape on the I-10 Texas/Louisiana corridor. One is from my mom's mom. It's called Ethnic Edibles and Everything Else. You'll find pages of competing sauerkraut recipes, some borderline racist language for chinese stir-fry recipes, and cute little poems scattered between advertisements for local insurance agencies and church supply stores. The second one is called Louisiana Lagniappe, inherited from my dad's mom, and it has some damn good gumbo recipes among many other things. There's Cajun folk tales, sketched illustrations, and a conscious effort to educate about the differences between "cajun" and "creole". No matter how far I ever get away from where I grew up, these two books are a constant. I very seldom actually cook out of them, but I'll skim through them often to jog my brain if I'm in a grocery rut.

Yeah this is the core of my relationship with a few cookbooks too

Sometimes all it takes is a look at Glenda Hrabacek's ten-bean soup recipe again to remember to stock up on canned goods.

I have a lot of these from grandparents and people we grew up with. Mostly cookbooks made by church congregations and/or small farming communities. The issue with them is that most of the submitted recipes are missing one or two key ingredients (or lists far too much of some ingredients) bc the people submitting them didn’t want anyone else in church or town to know or have their recipe. They’re cool and funny to have but I don’t trust most of the recipes.
