THREE RIVERS COOKBOOK I: The Good Taste of Pittsburgh is a popular regional cookbook with recipes from Pittsburgh restaurants and community members. Each recipe is accompanied by the name of its contributor and most recipes are heavily influenced by the traditions and customs of Pittsburgh’s multi-cultural and ethnic heritage. The cookbook has been named a Southern Living Hall of Fame winner.

The 250-page comb-bound cookbook is in good condition with no tears; however, the cover does show some browning, especially on the edges.  The Southern Living Hall of Fame sticker is on the front.

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.
