Miss Parola’s New Cook Book and Marketing Guide 1880

Wilmington NC 1880’s through the 1930’s. Handwritten Book with lots of cutout recipes from other cookbooks. 

A Handwritten Cookbook dating from the early 1900’s through the 1940’s, and some loose pages from an earlier cook book possible dating back into the late 1800’s.  A lot of the recipes say from Mom or Mother’s.  I do not know for certain that this is a cake that can be attributed to this politician, but it is possible.  

From Avondale Pennsylvania and dated 1912 through 1944, a handwritten cookbook, lots of the recipes say Mother’s so I am thinking they date from the late 1800’s up to the 1940’s.    (see above recipe under Avondale 1912)
