Add to Cart
Antique OBSOLETE hospital community fundraiser recipe book cookbook HERE’S TO HOSPITALITY!, compiled by The Woman’s Auxiliary Board, Muhlenberg Hospital, Plainfield, NJ New Jersey This dated 1949 recipe book measures approx 6-3/4”x 9” with 184 pages including Foreword by then Woman’s Auxiliary President Marie C Terhune, Recipe AND Advertisers Indexes. On each of the 14 category cardstock pages are superbly drawn, clever and original, illustrations by Mrs Donald Gosch, Mrs F Waldemar Cooper and Mrs Paul Troth. Of special interest in Index is a list of Twig Treats, favorite dishes served at Twig Meetings. Cookbook is full of typed-format recipes, and with approx 186 different contributors, you KNOW there is a good variety of MANY good recipes! , (Per Wiki, Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center closed its 355-bed facility on August 13, 2008. JFK Medical Center continues to operate a satellite emergency department as well as other outpatient care from the facility.)

Those were the days when women proudly wore their marital status as part of their name. Also, in those days, I am surprised that a hospital cookbook would include 7 alcoholic drink recipes, and not surprised that those who contributed them did not submit their full names, only their initials ... Doctor R J Childers submitted a recipe for alcoholic Punch!

CONDITION: Very Good, and I checked EVERY page to enter all the names! (I include ALL names in ALL fundraiser-type cookbooks because I know how frustrating it is to hope and wonder if specific contributors are included in a book, only to find out they’re not, upon receipt.). Pages and semi-plasticized covers are mostly clean with only a couple internal and external spots, tight to spiral binding, no folds or tears or chips, all pages intact, no defective spirals. Only writing is penciled checkmark on page 59 (Apple Meringue Pudding). Minimal wear to lightly-foxed tabs and cover corners. Age/sun-toned corners and pages in above images are enhanced by the scanner. Books are NOT from smoke-free or pet-free environment. Please see above 8 supersized images ... they are part of the description. Email with questions or requests.

Shipping: Free FIRST CLASS/PRIORITY mail that will include insurance, tracking number/info, faster delivery, and more gentle handling by the USPS than Media/Bookrate to better protect the plastic spirals on your keepsake.

Seize this scarce book for posterity, the descendants, future generations of those who contributed the recipes ... this legacy may be all there is! … Perfect as a gift for birthdays, Christmas, newborn grandchild or just to say “I love you and cherish the memories.”
