My Mother'S Cook Book eBook

 

Several hundred recipes compiled by Ladies of St. Louis for the Women’s Christian Home include a complete range of dishes from soup to nuts, tending toward dishes "my mother" used, and handed down from mother to daughter.  The ladies’ droll sense of humor is captured in the preface: "The recipes gathered in this priceless volume have been sent from all parts of the known world; several even from New Jersey." Although the ladies are unnamed, a dedication by Mrs. E. F. Richards and the Misses Glover thanks all the contributors as well as local advertisers who aided the project (ads for merchants selling a wide variety of merchandise, including the "latest gems of fashion," are included at the front of the book).
