Explore exciting menu ideas for a festive party or find a special treat for your family with San Francisco: à la Carte. Published by the Junior League of San Francisco in 1979, it has been recognized by the RT French Company's Tastemaker Awards as the best cookbook to date.

Featuring over 500 easy yet innovative recipes, this cookbook offers a taste of the best food from San Francisco's extraordinary people. It is a perfect blend of old traditions and new ideas, showcasing regional recipes from famous landmarks, sights, and restaurants. Indulge in delicious pasta dishes like Fettuccine Al Pesto from North Beach, mouth-watering seafood like Deviled Dungeness Crab or California Cioppino from Fisherman's Wharf, and indulgent Fluffy Omelets from Cow Hollow. Of course, no San Francisco cookbook would be complete without the famous Sourdough French Bread.

This 512-page hardback cookbook is in like-new condition and includes the dust jacket.

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.
