Recipes from 1945

Recipes from 1945

When Larry Sheldon, a librarian/archivist here at NRPL, came across this gem in our archives, he just knew it had to be featured on our blog. Compiled by the Women's Society of the North Avenue Presbyterian Church, 'The North Avenue Cookbook' contains several recipes from soups and salads to beverages and desserts. There's even a section on catering for groups of 200 people! These recipes are definitely worth taking a look at; a wise woman once said; "you can trust any recipe a person is willing to sign their name to." 70 years later, why not test some of the recipes from this cookbook for yourself? We've added some here so you may do just that, and stop by our Local History Room where you can see this most interesting piece of New Rochelle history.
