Settlement Cookbook still dishes up warm memories
Look in any used bookshop, at any rummage sale and you'll likely see a copy. Check out your mom's cookbooks and grandma's, too. There's bound to be a copy of "The Settlement Cookbook." And it likely will have recipes taped into the endpapers and notes scribbled throughout. The cookbook was born in Milwaukee in 1901.
