Old San Diego Cook Book: Favorite Recipes of the Navy and Marine Corps, San Diego Area

Including a Collection of Representative Mexican and Old San Diego Dishes Contributed by Descendants of Early Settlers of San Diego County.

Compiled by Volunteer Women of the Navy Relief Society San Diego Auxiliary (1950)

Very rare! A wonderful collection of recipes with a nice touch of the flavor and history of San Diego County. Quoting from the preface: "Our purpose in publishing this book is three-fold; to raise funds to pay nurses who supervise our day nursery at the Balboa Naval Hospital; to show in some small measure how much we appreciate living in this beautiful area; and to pass on a little of the early history of San Diego County to the uninitiated, particularly to Navy and Marine Corps families who will live here in the future.

Each recipe has the facsimile signature of the contributor. Each section begins with a tab divider and an historic photograph from the area. The back of the divider page has a table of contents of that section.

Organized into tabbed sections including:
1. Old San Diego and Mexican dishes
2. Canapes and Hors d'Oeuvres
3. Breads, Biscuits and Rolls
4. Casseroles and One-Dish Meals
5. Pastry, Cakes and Cookies
6. Desserts and Sweet Sauces
7. Egg and Cheese Dishes
8. Soups and Sauces
9. Fish, Game, Meats and Poultry
10. Salads and Salad Dressings
11. Vegetables
12. Foreign Cookery
13. Men's Recipes
14. Miscellaneous

Plastic ring bound book, tabbed section dividers, 181 pages. 8 1/2" X 6 1/4". Illustrated with historic photographs from early San Diego.

The covers show some wear along the edges, the tabs are a little worn. There are no marks or writing noted, the interior is clean and bright, overall in good plus to very good condition.
