The Settlement Cook Book Collection Grows!

 

I've been collecting copies of The Settlement Cook Book for quite some time and recently added a well-loved Eleventh Edition. I was intrigued by what appears to be part of a 1921 calendar page used for spine lining. I also loved the newspaper clipping for a delicious coffee cake recipe backed by an adorable photo of a youngster admiring some beautiful lilies.

Recipes from Carson Gulley's Seasoning Secrets: Herbs and Spices (1949)

 

Mr. Gulley's 1949 guide to cooking with herbs and species is absolutely delightful!

There are numerous delicious-sounding recipes in the booklet, including Spaghetti & Chop Suey. The receipt for Baked Racoon, however, sounds terrible (for several reasons).

Rhubarb & Strawberry Pie Recipe

This recipe was tucked inside the same cookbook as last week's Blueberry Coffee Cake recipe. Obviously, a previous owner knew a good recipe when she found one!
