VIRGINIA COOKERY: Past & Present is a community cookbook of favorite recipes compiled by Women's Auxiliary of Olivet Episcopal Church in Franconia, Virginia. A Southern Living Hall of Fame winner--the cookbook is somewhat of a history book as it takes the reader back to the first settlers in Virginia in 1619.
Recipes from America's early families can be found in the book--including the Lees and Washingtons. Many of the early recipes were carefully copied from Mrs. Richard Bland Lee's handwritten cookbook manuscript, which was handed down five generations. Mrs. Lee's recipes were published for the first time in this cookbook.
Contributors to the book include women from auxiliaries, churches and clubs across Virginia and are recognized by name, location and club below their recipe. Some recipes nclude short historical summary or cooking notes. Submissions include: Deviled Crab, Westmoreland Club Mint Julep, Beene Cookies, Fried Chicken, Queen Elizabeth Cake, Penn-Daw Cornsticks, Eastern Shore Clam Fritters, Martha Washington Cake, Sally Lunn Bread and more
The hard cover comb-bound cookbook is in very good condition as is the cardstock cover. This book is from the eleventh edition in 1993.
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.
