About this Item

This is ?The Eastern Star Cook Book?, with lots of yummy recipes provided in 1931 by members of The De Ruyter Chapter of the Eastern Star (No 416, O.E.S.) Editors were Worthy Matrons Grace Francis and Stanton Ottman. The book measuring 5 5/8? x 7 3/4? in size, was bound in a darkly mottled stiff paper stock. The title is gilt, but due to time?s passage, is just barely visible against the dark surface. Clearly visible are the Eastern Star symbol at the center of the front cover, and - beneath that - a cheerful precis for the book ? GOOD THINGS TO EAT and HOW TO PREPARE THEM?.

The title page is sharp and clear : ?Eastern Star Cook Book - Tested Recipes are Like Old Friends - Tried and True? Compiled by the Members of De Ruyter Chapter No. 418 O.E.S. / Grace Francis, Worthy Matron / Stanton Ottman, Worthy Matron. At the foot of the title page is a quote fromRose Terry Cooke : After much meditation and experience, I have divined that it takes as much sense and refinement and talent to cook a dinner, wash and wipe a dish, make a bed, and dust a room as goes the writing of a novel or shining in high society.?
