What is The Baddour Center cookbook?
The “Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow” cookbook is a compilation of classic recipes put together in 1979 by Mr. Charles Baddour. With more than 100,000 copies sold to date, this cookbook has continued to wow cooks and food lovers over the years.
How did The Baddour Center cookbook start?
In 1979, Charles Baddour began to compile a collection of favorite recipes, and he was known to bring a homemade cake to residents and staff members celebrating their birthday during the first years of The Baddour Center opening. Eventually, this collection of favorites would become the Baddour Center cookbook. The cookbook is compiled of a variety of dishes but is best known for its Southern staples. Since its publishing, we’ve sold thousands of copies of the cookbook, all of which have benefited The Baddour Center over the years. The title of the book, “Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow,” represents both the mission of The Baddour Center and our belief in Jesus Christ’s eternal nature.
