Retired Oktibbeha Co Chef Writes Cook Book

STARKVILLE, This retired cook served in Oktibbeha County for more than a decade and now she’s written a cook book. Minnie Fox was the cook at the Okitibbeha County Jail for years and she received so much praise for her work, that she decided to write a cook book when she retired. The book is filled with recipes for casseroles, breads and meats. Fox says this cook book is especially perfect for this time of year.

“They are very good dishes, basic dishes. If you follow instructions, you can do pretty much everything in this book. A lot of things in this book are holiday dishes,” says Fox.

The book signing was held at the Book Mart in Starkville. Fox says she originated all of the recipes from cooking at her home.
