Seattle Washington: Lowman and Hanford Company, 1930. Metallic sliver cloth hardcover with decorations and titles in black, red, and darker green; orange endpapers. No dust jacket (probably as issued) but covered in modern mylar wrapper. 411 pages, indexed, + 14 pages ads. The Seattle Fruit and Flower Mission was an 'organization of women, all volunteer workers,' which gave dietary aid to those who were ill or undernourished, 'irrespective of race or creed.' It is difficult to discern from these recipes what dietary needs were being addressed (aside from malnourhisment). Recipes are good old-fashioned American fare (expect to find some using lard, for example) and cover the spectrum of appetizers, salads, soups, entrees of all kinds, desserts, breads, etc. In fact, about half the book is devoted to puddings, desserts, pies, cakes, candies, and so forth. A bias for French dressing is also notable, probably a factor of the era in which the book was published. An attractive book with an Art Deco cover, wear at edges and corner tips. Some notes and recipe in pencil on a couple of initial endpapers, Rear pastedown has two recipes in ink, rear free (orange) endpaper is missing. Internally the book is otherwise clean, with a few small spots on pages here and there. The text block edges are darkened, thumb-shaped darker spot on fore-edge, overall a reasonably clean and collectible copy. CKBK 3505. First Edition. Hard Cover.
