RIVERFEAST: Still Celebrating Cincinnati | Junior League of Cincinnati | ©1990 First Printing

RIVERFEAST: Still Celebrating Cincinnati is a regional cookbook published in 1990 by the Junior League of Cincinnati and now out-of-print.

Readers will find over 350 recipes, all of which have been triple-tested, in this cookbook. Recipes were chosen for their emphasis on fresh ingredients and ease of preparation. There is a special selection of recipes from some of Cincinnati's long established and most prestigious restaurants, included the 5-star Maisonette and the Golden Lamb. 

Unlike many Junior League cookbooks, RIVERFEAST: Still Celebrating Cincinnati was published as a hardcover book with a case binding. This book is in like-new condition and appears to be unread. 

It is a great example of a "community cookbook.” Often published for women by women as fundraisers, community cookbooks provide the reader a snapshot of unexpected insights into aspects of American culture, food and cultural norms at a given time in history and details not documented elsewhere. Some see community cookbooks as unofficial records of the past, and for cookbook collectors and culinary scholars, their historical value far outweighs the recipes inside.
