Scarce BRENTWOOD NH 1970s Rockingham Nursing Home Cookbook SEE 115 NAMES 380 RECIPES 195p

Scarce community nursing home/hospital fundraiser recipe book cookbook RECIPES FROM OUR HOME compiled by staff, residents, friends of the Rockingham Nursing Home, Brentwood, NH New Hampshire.. Recipe book measures approx 5-1/2”x 9” with 195 pages, but has no recipe index of recipes & corresponding page numbers. Cookbook does, however, contain a Table of Contents (see below). The non-illustrated pages are of better quality paper than most. Recipes, typed by volunteers, are in typed format and professionally printed and bound by plastic spiral. ecipe contributors names are included if given - - - and with 380 (I counted them twice myself!) recipes (some ethnic) and approx 115 unique contributors named + 10 omitted names, you KNOW there is a good variety of MANY good recipes!

Although this cookbook is undated, I phoned the facility and was told by one of the two longest-employed employees that this particular cookbook dates to the 1970s, not newer, because the pages turn vertical, not horizontal. The Home never reprinted; instead they compiled a new cookbook every few years, so this one is indeed scarce.

For contributor names E through Z please see Item ID# 7015846 or do a title search within my eBluejay store for PAGE 2 … 1970s BRENTWOOD NH Rockingham Nursing Home COOKBOOK (continued from initial listing 7015845 ). eBluejay’s description limit is 10,000 characters, so I had to use 2 listings to complete this cookbook entry. This cookbook is not on-hold, only Page 2 is.

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.) Covers and pages are clean except for small light smudges on page 136/137/138, tight to all 9 plastic spirals. No tears, no chips, no dog-ears, no defective spirals, no missing pages. Only writing is an arrow pointing to a name/recipe on pages 3, 5, 8 and 165 ... and a recipe correction on page 25 correcting the ingredient from 5 lb flour to 5 tbsp flour in the Potato Pancakes recipe by Barbara Hardardt. Pages turn vertically from spiral, rather than horizontally like most cookbooks. Amazing condition for a 40-plus year-old cookbook! Books are NOT from smoke-free or pet-free environment. Email with questions or requests. Image is part of the description.

Shipping: Buyer pays $4.00 Media/Bookrate s/h and Seller will add to your $4.00 and pay the extra dollars for upgrade to FIRST CLASS/PRIORITY 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.”
