Atlanta Woman's Club Cook Book
Atlanta, Georgia: Atlanta Woman's Club, 1921. Octavo, white cloth with blue lettering, 253, [48] pp, several pages of illustrations of food. A rare cookbook by the Atlanta Woman's Club, published to raise funds for their new auditorium. The introduction notes that each recipe was vetted by the club's Home Economics director, and adds that "altho this volume specializes in typical Southern recipes, it also contains many choice tid-bits from other sections owing to the cosmopolitan character of the Woman's Club membership.” The book includes chapters on "budgeting your time", "necessary kitchen equipment," and "scientific canning”, “school and business lunches,” sweet potato recipes (an entire chapter’s worth),"thrift" recipes, creole recipes (which were in the family of a Creole club member for generations), and. The book ends with 43 pages of local advertisements. Front hinge cracked, spattering to a few pages, bit of toning and foxing, small hole through one leaf with loss to a few letters, foxing and mild wear to covers, which exhibit some bowing, an attractive copy overall.
