The first 72pp section is "A Reprint of The Old Congregational Cook Book" - possibly Park Congregational in Grand Rapids based on some of the associated names. 72 pages of short recipes, usually 6-10 to a page, each with an attribution (though some, Rorer, Farmer, appear to be famous period cookbooks). Sauces, puddings, soup, frizzled beef, salmon loaf, turbot a la creme, Canada cheese, salsify or vegetable oysters, ice creams and water ice, sea foam. The only mark in the book a decisive pencil X next to the recipe for chili sauce. The remainder is H. Leonard's catalog with illustrations throughout. 5 copies in OCLC, 4 of the 1873, apparently none of the 1871 original. Both earlier editions published as The Grand Rapids Receipt Book. Size: 8vo.
