A wonderful 100th-anniversary community cookbook from Christ United Presbyterian Church in Oelwein, Iowa. This commemorative edition is a local history treasure, featuring hundreds of recipes contributed by church members (with names attributed), a detailed church history, and lists of ministers dating back to 1920.

A fascinating culinary time capsule, it includes 1980s-specific sections like "Microwave" and "Diabetic" recipes. Locally printed by The Ink Spot Stationers, it includes charming illustrations and helpful household hints. Perfect for family historians, regional collectors, or anyone who enjoys authentic community cooking traditions. This book offers a unique look at Fayette County life and the families who built it over a century.

Item condition: Good vintage condition. The pink covers show light shelf wear and minor creasing; the plastic spiral binding is fully intact. Interior pages show characteristic age-toning but remain clean, legible, and free of heavy kitchen stains.
