A regional cookbook first published in 1974 by the Junior League of Charleston, West Virginia. The cookbook has been named a Southern Living Hall of Fame winner.
Mountain Measures includes photographs accompanied by bits of local history, and poetry from Louise McNeill, a West Virginia poet and historian of the Appalachian region. Many recipes were gathered from West Virginia and Charleston persons of note, and the cook's biography accompanies those recipes. Recipes deemed "local" are marked with a quilt square icon.
