Summary:

"Stevenson Memorial Cook Book" by Mrs. William D. Hurlbut is a collection of recipes written in the early 20th century. This cookbook serves not only as a compilation of dishes but also reflects a humanitarian effort initiated by Dr. Sarah Hackett Stevenson to provide for women and children in need through a lodging house in Chicago. It likely includes a diverse array of recipes, emphasizing community care and the sharing of culinary traditions while aiming to support the establishment it represents. At the start of the cookbook, a foreword details the origins and purpose behind the Stevenson Memorial Lodging House, which was founded to aid women in distress by providing both a safe haven and employment opportunities. The opening chapters include an index of recipes, showcasing a wide variety of categories from appetizers to desserts, indicating the intention to cater to a range of culinary needs. By presenting recipes along with the history of the organization, the beginning serves to connect the art of cooking to the broader mission of service and compassion.
