Plea For Old Cook Book
Mrs. V\ . C. Campbell . brought to Rappahannock News office a copy of the famuli' cook hook entitled "Rail1 Rappahannock Kim: pcs," following the puldicati->11 of a' plea for a copy.
Tins volume—min s i over - states that it was compiled hy the Woman’s Missionary Society of Woodville Baptist chtirch in lt'J'. Those serving on toe committee to compile the hook were tlie late Mrs. J. Hill O’Bannon. chairman; Miss Ethel Long, and Miss Julia Quaintance (Mrs. II. B. Wood).
The little hook is charmingly decorated with poems and pithy sayings, and of its value,, as to the recipes; that is vouched fo1' hy many who state that their copies are hadi.v worn from use.
Mrs. J. B. Carpenter of Culpeper volunteered to lend her copy of Rappahannock recipes and she stated that she desired it to he returned as the book was used frequently at her house.
A lady in Culpeper whose family has been noted for its fine cooking for the past three generations. reported that the cook book was one of the best she had ever used, and she hoped that it would be reprinted. She wanted a copy, she said, since her-s was so badly worn by now and that some of the pages were missing.
Mrs. Campbell’s cook book of Rappahannock recipes also shows wear mnd signs of constant use.
Some page^ bear marks of the spilling ingredients, and the book will lie flat anywhere it is opened.
The onljf complaint heard of the cook book to date is the same: “Mine’s almost worn out!’’
