cookbook: reliable recipes 1923

Reliable Recipes, published in 1923 by the Rector’s Guild of St. John’s Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, is a collection of family recipes from the members of the church. It was meant more to highlight unusual, delicious recipes from the congregation rather than a comprehensive compilation of every recipe ever, and in that aspect it accomplished its goal admirably.

An interesting tidbit is this was published during Prohibition, but the recipes still include regular alcoholic elements. A small note at the beginning of the book says to get non-alcoholic replacements at a grocery store.
