from a notation in the auction catalogue The Fine Collection of Cookery Books Formed by Mrs. Claudia Quigley Murphy, New York The Anderson Galleries, April 19, 1926, for a 1796 Carter Philadelphia edition: “RARE EARLY AMERICAN EDITION. Not in Sabin. Apparently no record of sale at auction. It may be noted that Evans lists but thirteen Cookery Imprints prior to 1795; and American Cookery Books printed before 1825 are of very rare occurrence. THEY ARE, IN FACT, THE INCUNABULA OF THEIR CLASS. The present work and Smith’s “Complete Housewife” were more frequently printed than any other work, and were the books upon which the women of the late Colonial and the Revolutionary eras relied.”
Though new additions have been made to Cookery catalogues, it cannot be disputed that they ARE the incunabula of their class.

AMISH MANUSCRIPT BOOK
Receipt or recipe portion of the book dated is 1905. The diary portion consists of 6 pages. A trip to Belleville, PA is recounted mostly with 2 words of the weather of the day and with whom she had dinner.
While the recipe portion has mostly cakes and cookies, Sarah is more specific about her ingredients. Her recipe for Baker’s Molasses Cake specifies New Orleans Molasses; a pound of clean lard and a pint of thick milk. Butter Milk Cakes uses 1 quart of butter milk as one ingredient. Butter milk from a farm comes from cream as it is churned into butter and the cakes also include lard as her shortening. These few ingredients, so specific in the detail of the recipe makes a finished product so specific to its maker.
Hopefully, though, Sarah had another recipe book for nutritious food.
We get another taste of the recipe by use of her language, German American and specific to her ‘own people’ and her community. A recipe with ‘Mother’s Kind’ written as an aside has a dearer feeling to it.
