Common Sense Cook Book: A Book of Tested Receipts -- Souvenir Cook Book

This is a Very Scarce "Ladies of the Presbyterian Church" of Meridale NY, cook book, or--as referred to in that era (circa 1900)--a book of receipts, in this case, tested receipts. It is in Good+ condition and is complete with some foxing, and the covers are separating, but still connected to the book. Internally, the book is in Very Good+ condition, with some pencil marks, but non obscure the text. The fascinating recipes are sorted into sections: soups, fish, eggs, meats, vegetables, entrees, salads, puddings and pies, ice cream, cake, cookies and doughnuts, bread, pickles, jellies and jam. The hamlet of Meridale NY, population <500, was part of the larger, but still very small community of Meredith NY, which is located in Delaware County. Measures 6.5 x 5.25 inches, with 72 pages.
