[FOOD AND WINE] [CLEVELAND] Case Avenue Presbyterian Cook Book by Ladies' Benevolent Society, Case Avenue Presbyterian Church - 1920

Cleveland, Ohio: Case Avenue Presbyterian Church, 1920. Hardcover. Fair. Octavo, 200pp., illustrated with advertisements. In fair condition in the publisher's green cloth. Evidently well-used, with old archival paper repairs to the inner hinges, soiling and staining throughout, but entirely legible, and with many pages clean. Several of the blanks at rear have been used (with handwritten recipes). Printed recipes include Fried Parsnips, Potatoes on the Half Shell, Stewed Kidneys, Timbals, and much more. The contributors last names read much more like names from the Mayflower than those of the then-booming population of immigrants from Eastern and Central Europe. A scarce community cookbook for this Cleveland institution; we locate just two copies in OCLC (Harvard and U. of Denver), and none at the usual suspects in Cleveland.
