"A Cape Cod cook book! you who stray / Par from the old sand-bordered Bay, / The cranberry bogs, the tossing pines. / The wind-swept beaches frothing lines, / you city dwellers who, like me. / Were children, playing by the sea. / Whose fathers manned the vanished ships / --Hark! do I hear you smack your lips?" --Joseph C. Lincoln, Harwichport, Mass., August, 1911

Tacos and barbecue command appetites today, but early Austinites indulged in peppered mangoes, roast partridge and cucumber catsup. Those are just a few of the fascinating historic recipes in this new edition of the first cookbook published in the city. Written by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1891, Our Home Cookbook aimed to "cause frowns to dispel and dimple into ripples of laughter" with myriad "receipts" from the early Austin community. From dandy pudding to home remedies "worth knowing," these are hearty helpings featuring local game and diverse heritage, including German, Czech and Mexican. With informative essays and a cookbook bibliography, city archivist Mike Miller and the Austin History Center present this curious collection that's sure to raise eyebrows, if not cravings.
