Forward, Dedication and More

Woman's Society of Third Baptist Church, St. Louis, MO, 1959

Dedication: This book is dedicated to the future home-makers of 3rd Baptist Church. It is offered as a preventative rather than a cure; preventing your future husband, if you choose one from 3rd Church, from being able to say, "This doesn't taste like the pie my mother used to bake." For we have tried to get recipes from all the women in 3rd Church. So, no matter whose son you marry, HIS favorite recipe ought to be found in this book. May your culinary attempts all be SUCCESSES.

Beginner's Luck!

 

Foreword: These recipes are taste-tested, and approved by the tasters. They have been kitchen-tested in at least one kitchen, and are hereby recommended. May you taste a "Wee Bit of Heaven", and enjoy the sample

.

Expression of Appreciation: We want to express our appreciation to all of those who in any way contributed to this book. To each of you who submitted recipes - - we say "thank you", for without them there could have been no book.

To each of you who gave so generously of your time and energy to, literally, bring this book into being; for hours of editing, typing, re-typing, electric typing, proof-reading, cutting, assembling - - we cannot adequately say "thank you".

And then - - to those patient husbands who showed such fobearance in foregoing balanced meals, served on time, in uncluttered surroundings, our sincere thanks.

Sincerely,

Your Cook Book Committee

 

Grace from "The Bible Cookbook"

We thank thee, O Father, for the food on our table, for the mother who prepared it with love, for the father who serves it with faith, for the children who, by your grace, eat it with love and gratitude. Amen
