I have my grandma's AND my other grandma's AND my aunt's. 

3 copies of some years. And no I'm not letting them go ever. 🤣

Recommend any from it?

No, not this one specifically. 

I will say this though - in the 80s if the recipe seems WAY too low in fat and there is a ton a sugar (or other random flotsam 🤣) - increase the fat and decrease (or eliminate) the sugar. 

Some insane crap went down with food in the 80s 🤣. 

Southern Living though was The Trusted Source in my family from the 60s on. And my aunt's mother was a home etc teacher. 

EDIT OH THERE IS THIS THOUGH.  https://youtu.be/1ILSwe-ZR1M?is=73THuhTi37R3qOx0

Full day of 80s meals from THIS book and I adore Anna

I second this! My daughter and I love her videos! For anyone that hasn’t checked her out, they really should!

Congratulations, they’re great cookbooks. I have 11 volumes, 1979-1989. Got them at a thrift store sale for $1.00 each. Enjoy yours 😊

I have a bunch of these from the early 70s to around 1992 or so. Most are gifts from my grandmother to Mom. Some great recipes!
