Cookbooks

[Karen DeFrank <defrank@VOICENET.COM>]

Hi,
I have some old cookbooks, too.  My favorites are the ones which are
published by churches and other groups as fund raisers.  They are great for
local favorites., and easy to find at yard sales.   I have one from my
mother in law's Sunday School class with a recipe for Sweet Potato Pie to
die for!
I also have my grandmother's Mennonite Community Cookbook.  She wrote notes
on some of the recipes.  I enjoy seeing her handwriting and comments.
Have you seen Susan Branch's series of cookbooks? They are beautifully hand
written and illustrated.
Another idea, if you are really ambitious, is to make your own cookbook for
gift giving.   I typed out 70 of my favorite recipes on a word processor,
had 30 copies of each page run off, designed, printed, and lamintaed covers,
 and put the cookbooks together with the binding machine we have at school.
It took a lot of time to type out the recipes, but the cost of this project
was minimal, and my family and friends enjoyed it.
