delightful duo of vintage community cookbooks from the heart of Purchase, NY! The first, “Purchase Fare Desserts – 1954,” and its companion, “’56 Entrées,” were lovingly compiled by local residents, capturing mid-century Americana on a plate. Each is plastic comb-bound, brimming with homegrown recipes—from a “Black Cherry Jello Mold” to “Duck à l’Orange.” The covers feature printed illustrations attributed to famed New Yorker cartoonist Peter Arno. This pair offers a savory and sweet slice of history, perfect for collectors of vintage cookbooks, regional ephemera, or anyone hungry for nostalgia. All recipes are intact, reflecting the neighborly spirit of the era!
These books are definitely rare and hard to even come by all the recipes are listed in the book cover I posted thanks great for that chef collector or to have in your kitchen as a decorative item
