Last year Southern Living intro-

ced a new annual cookbook,

1979 Annual Recipes, and it

has proved to be one of your favor-

ites and one of our best-sellers.

When we decided to publish a

cookbook containing all the recipes

published during a year in Southern

Living, we were convinced that it

would be a popular addition to

many kitchen libraries. The letters

we received during the years told us

that many readers clipped and

saved each month s recipes. We

also noted that those recipes when

shared with family and friends were

often misplaced. We viewed South-

ern Living 1979 Annual Recipes as a

solution for the misplaced recipes

and as a handy, convenient collec-

tion of the best recipes prepared by

some of the South s best cooks.

There was never a doubt that

1979 Annual Recipes would be fol-

lowed by 1980 Annual Recipes.

Reader response to the 1979 vol-

ume mandated that we continue

what we believe will be a long tradi-

tion. Similar in format to the 1979

version, this year s Annual Recipes

contains every recipe published in

Southern Living during 1980. Since

virtually all the recipes published in

Southern Living are contributed by

our readers, this cookbook presents

the best of eating for 1980.

But 1980 Annual Recipes is more

than a collection of this year s reci-

32 full-color pages, cooking tips and

hints, and extensive cooking and

kitchen guides in the Appendices.

Because a major goal is to make it

easy for you to locate this wealth of

material, the Table of Contents lists
