Collector's Notes

The cover identifies 900 recipes from women's club leaders in Michigan. The contributor format preserves both the recipes and the names of the women and organizations behind them.

The opening history section discusses Michigan food traditions and ingredients, while individual recipes identify contributors from communities across the state.

For a Michigan cookbook collection, the local names may be just as interesting to browse as the recipes themselves.
