How We Cook in Colorado: Choice Recipes. Contributed by the ladies of the First Baptist Church, Denver.
Denver, Co. [Denver Printing & Publishing Company], 1907.
Octavo (19 x 13.7 cm.), 122, [6], pages. Index. Advertisements. Blank pages for handwritten recipes interspersed. Printed photographic image of the church, with an exhortation to patronize the advertisers has been pasted to the free front end paper. Evident FIRST EDITION. An early community cookbook from Colorado, issued by the First Baptist Church. The church's founding was just six years after that of the City of Denver. The presence of recipes that include cod, canned clams, salmon, halibut and oysters is a testament to food transportation at this moment in the early 20th century. Some wear to a few pages, otherwise very good, in white oilcloth titled in black. Scarce. [OCLC records eight copies; Brown 239 (later ed.); Cook page 38; not in Cagle].
