I've been cooking and baking here in Mississippi since I was a child more than seventy years ago, mostly using family recipes which have been passed down in "hand wrote" cookbooks. I consider my mother one of the best home cooks I've ever had the privilege to know. She LOVED to cook, and loved to try new baking things. I well remember the time she tried to make bagels at home. It was not a success. It may not sound like much, but she made the best chocolate eclairs, which were not common for home cooks in the 1950s.
I still have her 1930's Joy of Cooking, and still use its sour milk cornbread recipe and its spoonbread recipe.
