You know I love them. They tell the story of a community and their food. But in some cases the community cookbook is not documenting an actual community location (like a local church or school) but instead a community of like-minded individuals that may have never met in person. This community could be organized around membership in a common group.<br />

<br />
An example of this is the 1970s cookbook, <i>Mother's in the Kitchen. The LLL Cookbook. </i>This "community" cookbook documents members of La Leche League from all over the United States and Canada. This is one of those times that you wish the index was a surname index and not just an alphabetical list of recipes.<br />
<br />
So these are recipes by moms for moms. The About section explains that<br />
<br />
<i>The purpose of our Mother's in the Kitchen is to help mothers plan nourishing meals for their families using the best of the products available on the market today.</i><br />
<br />
It's obvious that this cookbook was in response to cookbook recipes with casseroles filled with canned products, frozen food dinners, and quickly bought and consumed hamburgers and fries. This cookbook's goal was to get families away from "highly refined and processed foods." In fact,<br />
<br />
<i>Thus we have deliberately eliminated recipes which call for prepared mixes and packaged foods.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
This community cookbook is also different because the recipes were tested multiple times by people who did not contribute the recipe. It's not unusual to see a community cookbook, especially older ones, talk about the quality of their recipes but this is one of the few to actually go through a testing process.<br />

There's a lot of great genealogical content in this cookbook including the city and state (or country) the contributor is from, her given name, her husband's first name, and in some cases mentions of family. Obviously, we also know they were at one time a member of La Leche League as well. And best of all, those involved in the cookbooks creation, the typists and the recipe testers (3 1/2 pages of them) are also listed.<br />

In some cases this cookbook includes recipes created by the contributor and not handed down or procured from a cookbook. Such is the case in this ground beef recipe called Cowboy Chow which reminds me of Goulash minus the pasta (or whatever your family's name for a recipe that includes macaroni, ground beef, and tomato sauce. People have often remarked that it also includes leftovers which is what the following recipe also includes).<br />

The contributor, Edwina Froehlich comments:<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>This is basically a Spanish rice recipe, named Cowboy Chow to entice our boys who (like many small children) didn't like "mixed-up food" (casseroles). The name has stuck, even though in my own mind this is a clean-up-the-icebox-dish--perfect for Thursday's evening meal before Friday's weekly shopping. </i><br />
<br />
So we get a nice history of her recipe, her husband's name, her city/state, and the fact that she has at least 2 sons.<br />
<br />
And what's not to like about this dish? After all, it does have bacon!<br />
<br />
Have you written out the recipes that were your family's unique creation? One of the great things about this recipe is the added personal detail.<br />

<br />
Maybe.<br />
<br />
It's something you probably wouldn't think of but food tours introduce you to local restaurants and their specialties. That's most definitely in the present, right? But what if the food tour also introduces you to regional food specialties or food establishments that have been around for generations? Then food tours can provide a taste of the past.<br />
<br />
Let me first introduce you to what a food tour is. Typically these are 2 hour+ tours of local restaurants. The tour itself might be a walking tour or there may be group transportation. Each stop is an opportunity to take a taste from that particular establishment. The type of restaurant will determine what you are offered. So for example, a cup of tea and a chocolate from a tea shop or a very mini-sized dinner from a steakhouse. The tour may or may not include alcohol. Keep in mind that you can specify a non-alcoholic option and provide information about any food allergies or preferences.<br />

On a recent trip to <a href="http://www.visitcalifornia.com/destination/spotlight-santa-catalina-island" target="_blank">Catalina</a> I took part in the <a href="https://www.catalinafoodtours.com/" target="_blank">Catalina Food Tour</a>. (Catalina is an island off the coast of California. It's accessible by a ferry and is part of Los Angeles County). This food/historical tour spent two hours walking around downtown sampling foods ranging from salad and steak, to tacos and margaritas, to tea, seafood, and candy. Although the bites are small and you walk a lot, the food is more than enough.<br />
<br />
After we met at our pre-designated meeting place, we started walking to our first restaurant. Our tour meshed food with the local history. We made a few of our first stops and enjoyed entrees and then then we stopped at <a href="http://catalinacandy.com/" target="_blank">Lloyds of Avalon</a>. Lloyds has been making candy in Avalon since 1934.<br />

<br />
Now to be honest, I wasn't excited about this stop because frankly if it's not chocolate, I'm not interested. And I knew there was a lot of food on this tour and I didn't want to ruin that with candy. Plus we were having caramel apples which I am not a fan of (Lloyds is fabulous, I'm just not into candied things).<br />
<br />
But then it happened. We were offered hot, salt water taffy straight from the taffy pulling machine. Now, another true confession, as you can imagine I don't like taffy. But as I held this hot, sweet treat in my hand I remembered that my maternal grandmother would talk about eating salt water taffy and how she loved it. She would tell me about the process to make it and how they would get it at the beach. I never really understood why she thought this type of candy (afterall, it's not chocolate) was so special.<br />
<br />
My maternal grandparents lived in Southern California so they would have plenty of opportunity to enjoy the ocean. Guess where they went multiple times to enjoy a day of relaxation and fun?<br />

<br />
And they would have been there in the first two decades of Lloyds of Avalon's existence.<br />
<br />
So I tried the hot taffy. Let me tell you something. Taffy is awful (in my opinion) <b>BUT</b> hot taffy straight from the machine is like a whole other world. The heat makes it soft and flavorful. It's like a whole different candy.There's none of the endless chewing of a hard rubbery candy. It is the only way to eat taffy. It's too bad it's not how most people experience taffy.<br />
<br />
As I enjoyed that taffy, I thought of my grandmother and her love for the candy and finally truly understood what she was talking about. The food tour allowed me to experience something that I would otherwise not have the chance or, quite frankly, consider.<br />
<br />
When I returned home and told my dad about the tour, he immediately remarked, "my mom loved taffy."<br />
<br />
Yes, she did.<br />
<br />
Food history is family history. A food tour is a nice way of experiencing family history. On your next trip to where your ancestor lived, see if there is a food tour or create your own by researching the food history of the area and try local food establishments that have stood the test of time. Experience your family history in a different way.Gena Philibert-Ortegahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12853485188995075397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417986804925494345.post-43726991181706197662018-05-16T08:52:00.001-07:002018-05-16T08:52:36.860-07:00World War I Food and Two Thousand Questions <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You know what to do if you have a question. "Google" it! Today, most of us skip the encyclopedia or the exhaustive research in a library to get our questions answered. Pre-Internet folks (including us) use to go to the library or seek advice from an expert (we actually still should use these techniques but I'm trying to make a point). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you were living in 1918, what would you do to learn more about all aspects of life during World War I? Many people got their facts from Q+A newspaper columns and books like the one below, available from <a href="https://archive.org/stream/twothousandquest00mull" target="_blank">Internet Archive</a>, titled T<i>wo Thousand Questions and Answers about the War; A Catechism of the Methods of Fighting, Travelling and Living; of the Armies, Navies and Air Fleets; of the Personalities, Politics and Geography of the Warring Countries </i>by Julius Washington Muller (1918).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Aimed at Americans, there are all kinds of great facts about The Great War in here. Maps and details about all aspects of the War fill this volume.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, and there is <b>food</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You can read the food pages below (book is opened to the America's Food section) but to just give you a taste of what's in this chapter consider the following Q + A.</span><br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" height="430px" src="https://archive.org/stream/twothousandquest00mull?ui=embed#page/278/mode/2up" width="480px"></iframe>
<br />
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Q.--What are "Farm Loans"?</span></i></b><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">A.-To relieve farmers from the high interest charges levied by private interests when they need loans, a Federal Farm Loan Act was passed in 1916. It established 12 Federal Land Banks and these banks lend money to the farmers on security which is provided as follows: in any place farmers may form a farm loan association and this association can go to a Federal Loan Bank and obtain loans on mortgages laid on the farm property. These loans may fund from 5 to 40 years and are at 6 per cent or less. The Federal Farm Loan Banks get their funds by selling to the investing public bonds secured by mortgages.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The next question asks about this program's success and the answer states that by 1918 more than 51,000 farmers had obtained loans averaging $2,200 each (maybe one of these farmers was your ancestor).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">While wheat and food exported to feed allies is the main topic there is a few questions about food prices during the War compared to those during the American Civil War.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A follow up to a question about food price comparisons asks:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Q.--What caused the higher prices in Civil War days?</span></i></b><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">A.-The enormous increases in prices during Civil War days were almost entirely due to the speculative operations and the inflation of the currency and depreciation of the dollar. No stain was attached to persons who made money out of food speculations in those days. It is also happily true that higher political and commercial ideals by American business men to-day made possible the United States Food Administration which induced business men to voluntarily keep prices down without legal compulsion.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This answer is actually more complex that what is given in the book but that can be further explored with period newspapers and food history research.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The previous chapter of this book focuses on the food situation in Europe including alcohol consumption. You can read about the outlawing of certain alcoholic beverages and about overall "drunkenness" in England.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What to learn more about the history of a time period? Always read books written during that time period. I have no doubt that this book contains errors but it's a good start to learning more about World War I food history.</span>Gena Philibert-Ortegahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12853485188995075397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417986804925494345.post-63162920730269328662018-02-27T08:39:00.002-08:002018-02-27T08:39:34.209-08:00National Pancake Day from Beta Sigma PhiHappy National Pancake Day!

What are your earliest memories of butter? Did your mom cook with butter? Was it in a butter dish on the family table? Did a family member's occupation involve butter or a dairy?<br />
<br />
I grew up in a family who never ate butter. We used margarine out of a store brand goldenrod colored tub. We didn't bake and rarely went out to eat so I didn't see a lot of butter growing up. I don't think I knew anyone who used butter instead of margarine. Margarine was the cost effective alternative and since we didn't eat a lot of bread outside of sandwiches (always with Miracle Whip) there was not much reason for even using the margarine we did have access to.<br />
<br />
<b>Butter!</b><br />
<br />
Not surprisingly, I'm a big fan of food history books and one of the latest I've read is <i><a href="http://www.npr.org/books/authors/516915086/elaine-khosrova" target="_blank">Butter: A Rich History</a> </i>by Elaine Khosrova. Now you might be thinking, "What? Why are you reading a whole book about butter!?" This is a topic that warrants a whole book treatment and actually could have included even more chapters in my opinion. There's a lot covered in this work including interesting narratives about the making of butter then and now worldwide, the tools associated with butter production, and the surprising (to me) discussion about gender and early butter history that should be especially interesting to family historians. Of course, because of my family history of margarine, I was especially interested in that chapter.<br />
<br />
You may think that butter, margarine, oleo, etc are boring and there's not much to discover. But you couldn't be more wrong. I don't want to give away too much but let's just say that butter making had a dark side, margarine had an even darker side, and the law, dairy industry, and others got involved. I knew a little bit about this history because of the fabulous research that <a href="http://tammyhepps.com/" target="_blank">Tammy Hepps</a> has done on her Margarine Moonshiners where she weaves history and family history to tell the story of margarine.(You can watch a short version of her presentation <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB7ifHeQUCE" target="_blank">here</a>). Hepps' ancestors sold really bad margarine as butter which was illegal and they ended up in Leavenworth. I would love to introduce Elaine Khosrova to Hepps. The book's discussion of that history would benefit from Hepps real-life examples. Food history does influence family history!<br />

This book has so many surprises including butter's connection to the Hindu religion and butter sculpting. A seemingly simple topic is dissected and explained.<br />
<br />
This book is food history but it provides information that could be considered essential to some people's family history and so it should be of interest to the food and family historian.<br />
<br />
<b>What's your story....?</b><br />
<br />
So what's your family's butter story? Did anyone work for a dairy? Deliver milk? Any dairy farmers? Maybe like Tammy you have someone who was arrested for passing margarine off as butter.<br />
<br />
What memories do you have of butter or margarine ? Did you use dye packets to color margarine? Did you use oleo?What family recipes do you have that utilize butter?<br />
<br />
Yes, I realize butter seems like a weird topic for genealogy but food history is family history and butter may be the root of some interesting stories in your family.<br />

The topic of what to feed kids is one with a long history. I found myself just the other day watching an online video of what to pack for school lunches. That old refrain of "what's for dinner (or breakfast or lunch)" gets old no matter who the generation is asking so it's no wonder that cookbook publishers have long tried to provide ideas.<br />

In 1942 Ruth Berolzheimer and the Culinary Arts Institute had the answer for how to feed children foods that were high in vitamins. Her cookbook, <i>The Body Building Dishes for Children Cook Book</i> was the answer to raising those well-nourished children.<br />
<br />
With the subtitle of "A well-nourished child is a happy child Vitamins are their spark plug" Berolzheimer set about explaining what foods contained what vitamins. Probably not surprisingly, much of the food isn't "kid-friendly."<br />
<br />
[Just a side note, Berolzheimer was a prolific food author so you may have seen her name before. An article about her can be found on the Chicago Reader <a href="https://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/the-cookbook-queen/Content?oid=1106100" target="_blank">website</a>.]<br />
<br />
Some of Berolzheimer's advice makes sense for today's parents including the admonishment to not give your opinions about what you like or dislike in front of kids because they will then not eat it. She writes, "If adults have bad dining habits they should be kept a deep, dark secret from children." She also recommends attractive table settings to make children interested in eating.<br />

Berolzheimer provides two menus for children based on age. So what does she recommend for a week worth of meals for the school child? The menu below reflects various lunches beyond the same old sandwich. Liver Vegetable Soup, Peppers Stuffed with Macaroni, Farina Vegetable Ring, Lima Bean Chowder, and Eggs in Tomato Cases all help to make for fairly large lunches (even my teenager thought the lunch menu included a lot of food).<br />

You might note a few things about this menu. Meat is not featured in every meal. Meat is pretty much relegated to dinnertime and in the Preschool Menu, meat is even less prominent. Only one breakfast features bacon and lunch is mostly meats in soups or broth. One result of less meat consumption would be reduced food costs.<br />
<br />
This recipe booklet's emphasis on organ meats makes sense in terms of beliefs about their vitamin content. Liver and kidneys are featured in three dinners. World War II food rationing in the United States was just starting when this cookbook went to print and the emphasis on organ meat would gradually become commonplace. You also might notice that milk is pretty much the drink of choice for each meal. Part of the high vitamin diet was consuming one quart of milk each day.<br />

So I'm curious, anyone grow up with some of these recipes? Did you have parents or grandparents concerned about your vitamin intake? What foods were you forced to eat as a child because it was "good for you?"<br />

Lange's photo <i>Lunchtime for the peach

history nevertheless. Just as Lange captured everyday life so too did other documentary
and street photographers of her time. Photographs capturing life generations

Today, everyone is a photographer, not a professional photographer
and not as talented as Dorothea Lange, but we have easy access to cameras via the mobile device we carry everywhere. Because of this constant ability to take and post photos online, viewing other people's photos can sometimes feel overwhelming. Those posted photos are sometimes criticized/judged and let's face it, the ones that get made fun of the most are the self-indulgent, endless
selfies that are taken and posted more often than seems necessary. In fact, it seems a point of pride to announce "I don't know how to take a selfie." But there is one
other type of photograph that seems to draw ire. Photos of food. <o:p></o:p></div>

For those haters of food photos I have a message…<b>food photos
are family history.</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"FOOD PHOTOS ARE FAMILY HISTORY????!!!" </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bear with me for just a second. If I went to an antique store and found your grandmother’s
recipe box, would you want it? Why? You might be thinking “Of, course! That’s
family history!” You would want it because it is something she left behind. It
contains recipes that define your family
history. There’s her apple pie recipe that no one can duplicate or the oyster stuffing
you had every Thanksgiving. <b>Food history is family history</b>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So why should you care and/or post food photos? If I had
photos of what my grandmother ate, it would help document my family
history. Photos of the food she canned would tell me what she grew in her
garden that year. A look at what she fed her kids as a young widow would tell
me how they were doing financially and let me know what food they had
access to in her small rural community. A photo of a special dinner at a
restaurant would memorialize a special occasion. Photos at Thanksgiving would let
me know who came to dinner, what they ate and remind me of family traditions.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In short, I would be ecstatic to receive such photos just as I’d
love to receive her recipe box or favorite cookbook. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One day you will be someone’s ancestor or beloved long-dead family member. One day, future generations will have access to archives we don’t
have access to today, including your tweets. Imagine the story they could piece together about your life and your extended family’s life from those food photos. I think it's fair to say that they will enjoy those way more than the <i>tired/non-sourced meme that depicts a historical figure who really didn't say that quote</i> that you’re tempted to
post.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your food photos are documentary photos in the custom of
documentary photographers before us. No, most of us are not destined for exhibits
in art museums or a photo credit in an artistic, oversized coffee table book. <b>We are instead documenting our lives for those who come after us, who like us want to study the lives of generations past.</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My name is Gena and I proudly post food photos to Twitter, Facebook, and
Instagram. I hope you do as well.<o:p></o:p></div>

Today's Food Friday highlights recipes that bring back memories of the 1980s and beyond. Our cookbook for today is from the White House Volunteers, an organization that helps out around the White House. These volunteers were there during the Reagan administration and their cookbook includes recipes from First Lady Nancy Reagan and the White House volunteers.<br />

Some recipes make you scratch your head a bit as this one that has the intriguing title of Delicious - Quick - Nutritious. Like older recipes, the entire ingredient list is not provided above the directions. This recipe calls for jello and ice cream. Now as you will notice it's deemed not only a quick dessert but also a nourishing food for those who are ill. Now believe me, I milked the "all you can eat ice cream and jello" buffet provided after my tonsils were taken out as a kid but beyond that I'm not sure that sugar plus more sugar is "nourishment."<br />

These next two recipes are basically the same but the top one has the more interesting yet unappetizing name. Peggy's Goop is a the spinach dip we are all familiar with. Peggy's Goop is the quick version while the Spinach Dip in Rye Bread Shell adds a very more ingredients.<br />

This cookbook reminds me of a potluck. There's some great stuff and there's some "interesting" recipes but they were all contributed by individuals united by a common cause. While community cookbooks do have some of the weirdest recipes, they also provide us with a glimpse of what people really ate and wanted to share.Gena Philibert-Ortegahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12853485188995075397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417986804925494345.post-582902815677338832017-06-02T08:29:00.001-07:002017-06-02T08:29:46.453-07:00Food Friday: National Doughnut Day 2017<div style="text-align: center;">

National Doughnut Day is the first Friday in June and started in 1938 to honor the Salvation Army workers who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I and to help those in need due to the Depression.<br />
<br />

Salvation Army women were on the front lines in France baking/serving donuts and coffee as well as assisting soldiers. Their tireless work helped lift the morale of the soldiers and made an important contribution on the front lines.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to today's observance of National Doughnut Day. Yes, there are some places giving away free doughnuts but in case you want to make your own, the following recipes from 1925s <i>Royal Cook Book</i> might help.<br />

<br />
Here's a topic for those who are students of simplifying, decluttering, or simply downsizing. Denise Levenick, AKA The Family Curator asks "<a href="http://thefamilycurator.com/how-many-community-cookbooks-are-too-many/" target="_blank">How many community cookbooks are too many</a>?"<br />
<br />
Well you would think since I speak on the topic and collect said cookbooks that I probably own a lot but I would argue that "a lot" is subjective.<br />
<br />
One of my maternal aunts owned over 1,000 cookbooks. After her death, my uncle remarked that they never ate the same recipe twice. My aunt was a huge book lover and books were sacred to her (that runs in my maternal line). Do I have 1,000 cookbooks? No. Do I think 1,000 cookbooks is a lot? It depends.<br />
<br />
I know that for many people those community cookbooks have little worth. They are ephemeral and as a bookseller once said to me "those recipes are really awful." But I'm not buying them for the recipes.<br />
<br />
For me, those cookbooks educate us about women's lives. We can use them to study all types of history including local history, food history, family history, and women's history. I love the fact that Denise taught an English course where the students had to "read" community cookbooks. As genealogists, we should be learning how to read community cookbooks to learn more about our female ancestor's lives.<br />
<br />
Ephemera is important to our genealogy research. So I'm excited to be joining Denise in teaching a <a href="http://www.genealogyjamboree.com/2017/workshops.html" target="_blank">workshop</a> at the <a href="http://www.genealogyjamboree.com/" target="_blank">Southern California Jamboree</a> titled <b>Artifact Archaeology: Explore Family History Heirlooms and Ephemera</b> on Thursday, June 8, 2017, 10a.m. to 12p.m. We'll be talking about what ephemera is and how family historians should use it to provide them with genealogical and social history information.<br />
<br />
So how many community cookbooks are too many? I don't know because for me, I'm no where near that number yet. Yes, I probably have somewhere near 200 but there's many more I need for my research. Someday when it will become necessary to start thinning that collection down (you know, when I'm 100 years old) I'll probably send them to one of the library culinary collections that will welcome these historical tomes. But until then, I'm studying and sharing them so that we all can do a better job of documenting women's lives.<br />

This conference is a big deal in the world of genealogy and has the largest attendance on site and via live streaming of any genealogy conference. (It's estimated that 30,000 people are in physical attendance at the conference this year).<br />
<br />
One of the themes of the conference is the food history of your family, a topic well-known to Food.Family.Ephemera readers.<br />

Now, while some people are fortunate and have their grandmother's recipe box or family cookbook collection, not everyone has those treasures. Community cookbooks fill that gap. They provide recipes from your family's neighborhood, church, school, and even membership groups.<br />
<br />
Today's recipes come from <i>French Arcadian Cook Book</i> published by The Louisiana Arcadian Handicraft Museum from Jennings, Louisiana (1955). One of my favorite things is when there is something of the original owner in a cookbook. In this case there is a note about Cajuns and Creoles and their foods. This info might have been gathered from the cookbook or maybe from a visit to the museum that published the cookbook.<br />

Sometimes they look official with their certifications, notarizations, and signatures. Think in terms of vital records or land deeds. But sometimes they are simple like a long-forgotten school project that ends up in the trash or at a used book sale.<br />
<br />
Today's recipe comes from one of those simple sources. It's a community cookbook in that it includes recipes from various people. But that's about all I know about it. There's no title page, no copyright date, no acknowledgements. There's not even page numbers.<br />

The cover is blue burlap with stitching in various colors of embroidery floss. Its look says it was done by someone who was not accomplished in embroidery but was probably learning. Its mimeographed purple ink pages hint at being created at a school or perhaps a church. The inside front and back covers have a layer of card stock hiding the underside of all that stitching.<br />

Recipes found inside are for a mishmash of dishes like tacos and lasagna but they largely lean towards desserts like Fudgy Cookies and Chocolate Upside Down Cake.<br />
<br />
Each recipe bears the signature of a child whose experience signing their name is short. Unlike adults whose signatures often become a series of illegible lines and loops over time, these signatures neatly emphasize every letter.<br />
<br />
Based on some quick Google searches, my guess is that this Cook Book comes from Michigan. One other clue to this cookbook's origin is found in a singular typed sheet of paper found in the back that includes a recipe for Walnut Sundae Torte and the acknowledgement "Senior winner in Pillsbury's 14th Grand National Recipe and Baking Contest by Mrs. John Charles Mulder, E. Grand Rapids, Michigan. Adapted by Ann Pillsbury." The 14th Grand National Bake-Off occurred in 1963.<br />

One of my goals is to collect a variety of cookbooks from Redlands for a study and my mom came through. One of those cookbooks from 1992 included a recipe for a pie I had never heard of but judging from a quick Google search, it is a tradition for some families.<br />

From the "<i>Young at Heart's" Best Redlands</i> (California) <i>YMCA 1992 Cookbook </i>comes the recipe for White Christmas Pie.<br />
<br />
Meringue, whipping cream, coconut...it all sounds pretty good to me. And really, who doesn't like pie?<br />
