Washing Up
I bought this old cookbook at a thrift shop recently: The Ossoli Club Cook Book. I would like to find out as much as possible about the era and the group who created it. I did a google search and found nothing.
It has absolutely no copyright or publishing information except saying on the first few pages: published by The Ossoli Club.
It is one of the old fabric over cardboard covers and has ads for businesses located in Illinois. The first ad says,
"A Little Home -
A Little Family -
A Little LOVE -
A Few Friends -
- and a
Woods Electric -
Gee! What more can a man or woman want?
The car with the solid tires
Woods Motor Vehicle Co.
2521 Calumet Avenue
blah blah
It pictures an illustration of a family and outside the window, a real old flat top car of some type [I know little about cars]. It looks more like a carriage than a car to me.
The cookbook recipes read like this one for fruit relish:
Grape fruit pulp, bananas, sliced and quartered, mixed with shredded pineapple, using half as much pineapple as either grape fruit or bananas, strawberries cut in halves. Altogether 2 cups of fruit. Pour over fruit 1/3 cup sherry, 3 tablespoons of apricot brandy, 1/2 cup ofsugar and a few grains of salt. Chill thoroughly, and serve in sherbet cups as first course at luncheon.
Thanks for any help I recieve on this cookbook.
