Recipes for reading : community cookbooks, stories, histories

Community cookbooks were usually compiled by women and sold to raise money for charity. Contributors contend that the texts tell us much about the lives of those who wrote them. The volume is in three sections; a historical overview; essays about particular cookbooks; consideration of context.
