The American Woman’s Cook Book - 1934

This 1934 printing of The American Woman’s Cook Book represents one of the most influential home cooking references of early twentieth century America. Edited by Ruth Berolzheimer and originally tied to the famed Delineator Cook Bookand Cornell University’s College of Home Economics, this volume helped shape how families cooked, planned meals, and preserved traditions throughout the Great Depression and beyond. Its recipes, kitchen guidance, and domestic wisdom offer a beautiful glimpse into a generation that valued thrift, nourishment, and gathering around the table.

This is the only available copy, now thoughtfully handcrafted into a one of a kind journal. Select recipes from the original book remain preserved among smooth, acid free writing paper so that pieces of culinary history can accompany your own stories, memories, and favorite recipes. The striking green cloth cover shows the gentle wear of age, adding to the authenticity and charm of this highly coveted edition.

This journal makes a meaningful gift for home cooks, food historians, collectors of classic cookbooks, writers, and anyone who treasures the storytelling woven into shared meals. It is perfect for preserving handwritten recipes, documenting family food traditions, journaling kitchen memories, or capturing creative culinary ideas.

As with every Red Barn Collections journal, this piece carries the authentic character of its original printing and the careful craftsmanship that gives previously loved books new life.
