The Story of Kitchen Garden Books & Antiques__________

After a long and varied career in the food world, I opened an antiquarian book store in JanuaryInside_Store 2004, dedicated to the literature of the kitchen and garden. Through the years my personal collection reached several thousand volumes which forms the core of my stock. At the heart of the collection are 19th century American cookery books, charitable and classics. Since moving to the South, it has been my pleasure to acquire books from every lip-smackin' Southern state. Other sideline collections feature early Asian and Hispanic cook books printed in English. There are a hundreds of volumes on French and Italian cooking, many in the native language.

The bookstore is tucked back off the road in a palmetto, long leaf pine and magnolia setting on an acre of Panhandle hammock. Formerly law offices, the space now is crowded with bookcases in every room. The wrap around porch invites lingering over an old tome or two.
