CULINARY ART: From St. Marks Kitchens is a church cookbook filled with beloved recipes from members of St. Mark Lutheran Church in Batesville, Indiana. St. Mark's, with its arched seating and stained glass windows, has a rich history dating back to 1897 and is considered one of Indiana's most stunning churches.
Filled with a treasure trove of nostalgic dishes from past generations, including favorites like Juanita Lindemann's Parmesan Canapés, Alma Bass's Peach Conserve, Elaine Wessling's Paper Bag Apple Pie, Adeline Gibson's Chicken Dressing Supreme, and more.
Based on its simple layout and the use of Spry Vegetable Shortening, as well as research of contributors' burial records, it is estimated that the cookbook was created during the 1950s to early 1960s.

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.
