Each recipe which was contributed by an artist or entertainer is accompanied by a brief background of the contributor. They are quite varied...even including a recipe for Garbage Soup by Phyllis Diller.

$10 USDPresto Cooker Recipe Book/Cookbook, 1951, Models 603, 604 and 606
Books:Cookbooks:Presto Cooker
I don't think anyone would argue that entrees cooked in the Presto Cooker are delicious with the flavors blending in the process. For one, a roast and veggies can't be beat when cooked in this manner. Not only do you win on the taste test, but you also save time and energy with the amount of time needed to produce a delicious meal. The pressure cooker is also a good way to utilize tough cuts of meat, as the process tenderizes beautifully. I noticed there are also recipes for wild game. This ...

Books:Cookbooks
Two for the price of one! The first is Corn-of-Plenty Cookbook by Laurie Woody ad Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., 1986. This spiral-bound cookbook is like new and contains 94 pages of recipes and index. The recipes all contain corn and/or corn products. I had to stop and think on a few of them, but it is amazing how many products are derived from corn. Hint: She highlighted all the products in each recipe that are connected to corn. What an eye-opener. All the recipes are kitchen-tested and ...

$10 USDFrom Our Kitchens To Yours, First Methodist Church, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa
Books:Cookbooks
I don't have a date for this cookbook, but it appears to be from the 1950s. For one, the ads appear to be around that period of time and the phone numbers are two or three digits. I would say the late 40s to early 50s. Keep in mind that this church still runs a tent kitchen at the Old Threshers' Reunion, which is a huge event each year. These church tents are well known for their fabulous meals, generous servings and reasonable prices. They use quality ingredients and put out a quality product. ...
$12 USDSeasoned With Love, First United Methodist Church, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, 1988
Books:Cookbooks
This is a hefty cookbook with 317 pages of recipes and index. This cookbook was issued at a time when families did a lot of entertaining and church suppers were more common. The cook always made sure his/her dish was extra special and shared the recipe...unless it was handed down through the family....those were extra special and often kept close to the chest, so to speak. The sections are: Appetizers, Beverages, Dips, Snacks; Breads, Jams and Jellies; Cookies and Candy; Desserts; Meats, Main ...
$10 USDOlds Congregational Church Centennial Cook Book, 1854-1954
Books:Cookbooks
This is one of those traditional church cookbooks often put out to share recipes, but also used to raise money for church needs or for the women's society. This cookbook was put out by the Women's Guild in 1954 and I'm here to tell you that these women knew how to cook. I grew up not far from Olds (Iowa) and these women didn't worry about fancy dishes, but were more interested in getting the food to the table so that it's served hot if hot and cold if cold. Forget the parsley sprigs or lemon ...
$10 USDRival Crock-Pot Cooking, 1975, 1st ed.
Books:Cookbooks:Rival Crockpot
This hardback, spiral-bound cookbook is by Rival, the original manufacturer of the infamous crock-pot slow cookers that ended up under every Christmas tree when it was first invented. Although each family had their favorites that could only be made in a crock-pot, recipes began pouring in. As I recall, the pots came with a small brochure of recipes, but this issue by Rival has over 300 recipes and contains 208 pages, including index. The categories are: Beef, Pork and Lamb; Poultry; Fish and ...

$24 USDThe Country Kitchen Cookbook by Edward Harris Heth, 1968
Books:Cookbooks
Edward Harris Heth didn't just write a cookbook, he wrote a story to go along with it. A quote from the introduction by Euell Gibbons, "The sheer joy of life leaps from these pages. Edward Harris Heth lived in easy intimacy with his garden, the fields, woods, lakes and streams. To him, good food and drink--and their preparation--are among the amenities of the good life. His book not only tells you how to cook, but how to live." Heth's cookbooks are considered collectible by some groups and are ...
