What is My Mother's Cook Book The American Antiquarian Cookbook Collection about?

The category of "charity cookbook" is a favorite in American culinary history. Funds raised by sales of these cookbooks, with recipes donated by women's groups and church societies, were used to aid a wide variety of local causes and charities. My Mother's Cook Book belongs in this category—an excellent example of regional cooking styles of the post-Civil War Midwest. Several hundred recipes compiled by Ladies of St. Louis for the Women's Christian Home include a complete range of dishes from soup to nuts, tending toward dishes "my mother" used, and handed down from mother to daughter. The ladies' droll sense of humor is captured in the preface: "The recipes gathered in this priceless volume have been sent from all parts of the known world; several even from New Jersey." Although the ladies are unnamed, a dedication by Mrs. E. F. Richards and the Misses Glover thanks all the contributors as well as local advertisers who aided the project (ads for merchants selling a wide variety of merchandise, including the "latest gems of fashion," are included at the front of the book).
