About This Item
Irvington, Ca: May, 1941. Very good.. [6],150pp. Original wooden boards decoratively illustrated and lettered in green, gray, and black paint on the front board, reading, "Recipes Irvington P.T.A." and bound by three separate rings. Text uniformly toned, with several leaves detached but present, a few with minor chipping. An exceedingly rare DIY cookbook produced by the Irvington Parent-Teachers Association just before the outbreak of World War II. The recipes were compiled by Irma T. Bond, "not for culinary instruction, as is the case for most cook books - but for the purpose of permitting members to exchange their favorite recipes." The contents page lists the recipes in roughly alphabetical order, beginning with Appetizers, Bread, Crepe Suzette, and Cakes, and ending with Salads, Soups, Vegetables, and then "How to Cook a Husband," "Household Hints," and "Quantity Cooking." Each of the recipes, generally presented two per page, includes the name of its contributor. OCLC records just a single copy of this ephemeral, pre-war, school-related cook book, at UCLA.
