Two classic Junior League of Chicago community cookbooks offered together in one colorful vintage bundle.
Soupcon: Seasonal Samplings from the Junior League of Chicago (1974) and Soupcon II: More Seasonal Samplings from the Junior League of Chicago (1982) have long been favorites among collectors of regional cookbooks.
Filled with hundreds of tested recipes contributed by Junior League members, these books reflect the entertaining and home cooking styles of the 1970s and early 1980s, from appetizers and breads to international dishes, desserts, seasonal menus, and elegant entertaining.
The books feature durable plastic comb bindings that lie flat while cooking and distinctive color-coded pages that make browsing recipes easy. These sought-after community cookbooks remain popular with collectors because many recipes were never republished elsewhere.
Soupcon was first published in 1974 with 373 pages, while Soupcon II expanded the collection in 1982 with 387 pages and additional seasonal recipes.
