Community Cooking
70s (there is no date anywhere in the cookbook). It was put out by the Trinitarian Congregational Church of Northfield, Massachusetts and, as you can see from the photo, it is well-loved and well-used. Enjoy! And let me know if you try any of them (or if you know any of the people that submitted the recipes) by commenting on atHome magazine’s Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ athomemagazine.

I
love collecting local community and church fundraiser cookbooks. I find them everywhere ... from thrift stores to garage sales to free piles. And they often have the best unique tried-and-true recipes. We have quite a collection of them and I pulled one out at random for some interesting recipes for the holidays. These four recipes come from a cookbook called “Home Cooking Secrets of Northfield,” from the 1960s or
Cream shortening and sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Add apples. Add raisins or nuts, if used. Stir in dry ingredients which have been sifted together. (Note: While it doesn’t say in the recipe, I would grease and flour a square pan or muffin tins and add the mixture to it!) Bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
