Elvis Presley's Graceland & Favorite Foods
At Elvis Presley's home in Memphis, Graceland, the kitchen was always one of the busiest rooms in the house. It was the headquarters for a staff of cooks who prepared meals for Elvis, his family, entourage, and guests to the home. Most of the meals cooked at Graceland consisted of home-cooked Southern favorites, including cornbread, fried chicken, and old-fashioned meatloaf. See some recipes below inspired by one of our favorite pop culture icons, and enjoy a short tour of the Graceland mansion, too!
Of course, our tour starts with Elvis Presley's kitchen:

At one time I had a recipe for Elvis' favorite cookie and have lost it. It had molasses and ginger in it. I would love to have this wonderful recipe again if anybody can help me. I called it Molasses cookies.
