Cincinnati is renowned for its diverse cultural influences and traditions, including Oktoberfests, Derby Day parties, and Lenten Fish Fries. This cookbook, CINCINNATI CELEBRATES, contains a variety of menus, party ideas, and recipes, representing the culinary fusion of German, Greek, African, Chinese, English, Appalachian, Southwestern, and other cultures that make up the vibrant community.
Published in 1974 by the Junior League of Cincinnati, this comb bound copy is the 5th edition from 1980. It remains in very good condition with no markings, bent pages, or folded corners, except for a small piece missing from the bottom left back cover (see photo). This publication served as a fundraiser for the League's supported community projects and services, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
Community cookbooks are more than just recipe collections; they offer a unique look into American society and culture of the past...

Originally created and used by women's groups for charitable purposes, these cookbooks contain valuable information on cooking techniques, kitchen tools, and household advice. They also serve as unofficial historical records, providing insight into the norms and values of the time period.
The first of these charity cookbooks in America, A Poetical Cookbook by Maria J. Moss, was published in 1864 to raise funds for injured Union soldiers during the Civil War.
Today, community cookbooks continue to be successful fundraisers for Junior Leagues, church groups, school organizations, hospital auxiliaries and other charitable groups across the country.
