“The Southern Cook Book,” by Virginia native Marion Brown, was a sensation when it was published by the University of North Carolina Press in the fall of 1951. It contains over a thousand recipes from home cooks, restaurants, and old family cookbooks from across the South. With sales of over a half-million since its publication (and several updated editions), it is still considered a Southern classic.

One of the people to contribute a recipe was 1906 Mont Amoena graduate Wilhelmina Antley Dicks. After the success of the cookbook, recipes were featured each Sunday at Chapel Hill’s Carolina Inn. Wilhelmina’s Grapefruit Sherry was the featured drink on Sunday, January 13, 1952. Unfortunately, her Grapefruit Sherry was cut from subsequent editions of the cookbook.
