Whats Cooking Vintage 1955 Recipes New Mexico Jewish Community Fundraiser Cookbook
What's Cooking: A Collection of Recipes for the Gustatory Delight of the Gourmet, Compiled and Edited by the Los Alamos Chapter of Hadassah, 1955, Los Alamos, New Mexico, comb-bound softcover, 121pp incl index.
This is a treasure of a vintage 1950s Jewish community cookbook, filled with classic recipes. Such German and Jewish standards as knishes, kreplach, goulash with sauerkraut, gefillte fish, struesel kuchen, and mandel brot occupy the same pages as Tex-Mex chicken posole, carne asada, and a bean dip aptly named "Southern Fire", as well as such standard American fare as crabmeat canapes, eggplant parmesan, meat balls with spaghetti, and "my favorite brownies".
In very good vintage condition, with staining on a few pages (making the chrusciki recipe evidently caused some spattering), a couple of broken "teeth" in the plastic comb binding (see photo), and general yellowing appropriate to the age of the book.
