Cooking is An Art: Collector’s Cookbook- Edith Rosen Strauss 5th edition 1972
1st printing 1961
This appears to be a fundraising cookbook put out by the Edith Rosen Strauss organization which raised money for local hospitals.
A very large (550 page!) collection of recipes in a combination of handwritten and typed recipes with named contributors. Many regional favorite crab dishes, dozens of desserts and side dishes.
Many hand-drawn illustrations. Unfortunately, some drawings accompanying the recipes are racially insensitive or flat out racist.
