SynopsisThe recipes from this book come from Justine's, an establishment that kept a firm hold on its reputation as one of the leading restaurants in the United States for the 48 years it was open. Within two years of opening in 1948, this restaurant received national recognition for providing delicious meals as well as an elegant dining atmosphere befitting the term Southern Hospitality. The combination of this historical restaurant's story, accompanied by the exquisite recipes it served and the impressive artwork throughout the book, make Justine's Memories & Recipes the perfect book for both Chefs and cookbook collectors of today.
Craig Claibourne in The New York Times, 1966, writes of Justine's:
"This establishment . . . is conceivably the best restaurant in the South."
This lovely book is written by Janet Smith, daughter of the owners and founders of Justine's in Memphis, Tennessee, a restaurant that won honors and accolades for the forty-eight years it was open. It is a tribute to her parents, the staff, and the amazing success of Justine's.
The art by Janet, the pictures of Justine's -- elegant Southern mansion, interior rooms, gardens, beautiful table settings and food, parties--and the written history are fascinating. There are reviews, newspaper articles, magazine articles that record the award winning success of Justines as "the best restaurant in the South" for its food, Southern hospitality, beauty and elegance.
For many years I have been making the wonderful mint ice cream from Justine's, made with fresh mint leaves and creme de menthe. After reading this beautiful tribute to Justine's, I am looking forward to trying many more of the favorite recipes from Justine's.

I was so glad to have found this book eventually, being from Memphis and having worked at Justine’s after the restaurant had sold to another business. I spent long hours there hoping it’s once ornate and beautiful interiors would be fixed up properly and appreciated forever, only to see this historic building crumble slowly after that business closed too. The history of this place is hard to come by - thank goodness this book and its luscious photos, anecdotes, and recipes remain!
I was fortunate enough to eat at Justine's several times in the late 70's. I was delighted to learn of this cookbook and found and purchased it immediately! I loved the stories about the restaurant and its staff. There will never be another Justine's!
