(California - Mill Valley) St. Mary's Guild. Cookery Recipes.

Ads for local businesses scattered throughout. Pictorial cloth. First Edition. Mill Valley: St. Mary's Guild, 1902.

A fantastic first edition of Mill Valley’s first cookbook, with recipes by donors for Poor Man’s Soup, ginger pears, strawberry and apricot preserve, Sunshine cake, orange pudding, and other Northern California delights. Minor soiling to covers; marginal spot to most pages near fore-edges, 1” closed tear to top of p.16, but still very good and bright - solid and wonderful. Rare. Cook p. 27.
