Dublin: A Look Back

Cooking tips from 1943 Parent Teacher Association

The Dublin Historical Society was formed in October 1974 to discover, collect, and preserve documents and materials relevant to the history of Dublin and the surrounding area. It also encourages preservation of historic sites and a study of local history.

The column Dublin: A Look Back, will feature historical facts, stories and people in Dublin’s colorful past.

The Dublin P.T.A. Cookbook was published on Dec. 21, 1943.

“These recipes are particularly interesting because the cookbook was prepared for homemakers in 1943 during World War II, when some items were rationed,” says Tom Holton, president of the Dublin Historical Society. “It would have been helpful for cooks to know what items were good substitutes for others when making food for the family.”

The book remains in the Dublin Historical Society collection and was a gift from Debra Keeler.
