Favorite Recipes Desserts Edition Home Economics Teachers 1963 and Catholic Women 1966 Two Comb Bound Cookbooks
$55.00$0.00
Two Desserts Edition community cookbooks from Favorite Recipes Press in Montgomery, Alabama. Favorite Recipes of Home Economics Teachers is copyright 1963, and the Catholic Women volume is copyright 1966, both including party beverages alongside the desserts.
The home economics teachers book has a red top band with a tiered cake server and a chocolate cake roll, and its yellow oval promises 384 pages holding 2000 Favorite Recipes. The Catholic Women book shows a stained glass window above a cake and coffee service, with the same 2000 Favorite Recipes banner across the top.
Both are comb bound with white plastic combs that are still whole, so they open flat for baking. The covers show edge and corner wear, and the pages are toned from use.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.
