The Gasparilla Cookbook is such a great cookbook, showcasing the Tampa/Tarpon Springs area and also regional Southern cooking. I've used it since the late 1960's, enjoying personal and restaurant recipes that I've eaten all my life. Tampa's Ybor City offers you Cuban dishes and Tarpon Springs their Greek foods, recipes that are traditional and unique to their own areas. This is one cookbook that I have totally enjoyed and still use.
I found the introduction and history of the recipes very interesting. Retiring in the south after living "up North", I was seeking recipes that have both home-cooking and southern flavors. This cookbook gives me both. In addition, the recipes are simple, not requiring me to go out a buy hard to find, expensive ingredients. My friends are already asking to borrow it.

Great book, timeless enjoyment! This book was published over five decades ago by a Junior league in Tampa. My Mom had this book as I was growning up. Some of the recipes are my favorites. Eclectic, it offers tons of variety from seafood to appetizers, salads, desserts, etc. Something for everyone and ingredients that are generally readily available. I purchased this recently for nostalgia sake, and becuase of several tried and true recipes it contains that I just had to have. The salad dressings are outstanding, unforgettable, and I could not find the recipes elsewhere.
Wow! The Gasparilla Cookbook came and it is in brand new condition! I was a little worried because I bought it as a gift. The Gasaprilla Cookbook is a wonderful cookbook to add to your collection. You'll find amazingly delicious recipes that are sure to please family and friends.
