Own a piece of Missouri history with this authentic 1906 edition of The Columbia Cook Book. Compiled by the Ladies of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, this rare community cookbook is a fascinating historical relic. It includes charming local business advertisements from old Columbia, a 1906 Thanksgiving menu (featuring Caviar on Toast!), and recipes uniquely attributed to local women, making it an invaluable find for genealogy enthusiasts and historians.
Inside, you’ll find turn-of-the-century gems like "Sickroom" recipes and traditional heritage baking. While the cover shows its age with a notable water stain and edge wear, the interior pages remain fully legible and intact. A perfect addition to a vintage kitchen display or a collection of Missouriana.
Item condition: Fair to Good. Exterior shows a prominent water stain and fraying at the edges/spine. Interior has light foxing (age spots), but all text and advertisements are clear and readable.
