Milwaukee: [S.N.], 1901. Lizzie Black Kander was born in Milwaukee in 1858. She helped to establish and was president of Milwaukee's first social settlement, known simply as "the Settlement" in 1900. With the financial support of the Federation Jewish Charities of Milwaukee, the Settlement offered training in vocational and domestic skills, as well as classes in English, American history, and music. Kander believed that food was a powerful means of religious and cultural expression, and she used culinary reform to aid in the assimilation of immigrant girls and to introduce immigrant women to American consumer culture. Her involvement in the cooking classes led to the publication of The Settlement's own cookbook in 1901. Mrs. Rorer's New Cookbook Mrs. Rorer's New Cook Book; A Manual of Housekeeping, By Sarah Tyson Rorer.

There are instructions for various utensils amd equipment, and special chapters on Jewish, Spanish, Creole and Hawaiian dishes. This volume offers a picture of the then-current knowledge of diet, nutrition, culinary history, etc. It is an excellent view of cooking at the turn of the 19th/20th centuries. Practical American Cookery and Household Management Miss Corson's Practical American Cookery and Household Management. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co., 1886. This is essentially an early regional American cookbook. It was the result of an appeal by the author for information about local dishes which was sent to the U.S. Commissioner of Education and circulated by him throughout the country. Miss Corson founded the New York Cooking School and worked to teach rich and poor alike the proper way to prepare food. Various versions of her New York Cooking School Text were used in public and private classes throughout the country. She was particularly interested in helping the poor and to that end wrote and underwrote various pamphlets such as ,Fifteen Cent Dinners for Workingmen's Families and Twenty-Five Cent Dinners for Families of Six. The Neighborhood Cookbook The Neighborhood Cook Book/Comp. Under The Auspices Of The Portland Section In 1912, Council Of Jewish Women. Portland, Or. [Press Of Bushong & Co.] 1914.

When the first edition was issued in 1912, it sold out within ten months. Thus, the second edition was published. This is among the earliest of Jewish charity cookbooks. It is clearly non-kosher, with many recipes for the shellfish bounty of the Oregon coast. There are interesting ads, both local and national. Many of the recipes are not specifically Jewish in origin, but there are some are. The recipes tend to be very sophisticated and many are of German origin; they are for a middle-to-upper class constituency audience.

Jennie June's American Cookery Book Jennie June's American Cookery Book. New York: The American News Co., 1870. This is a most interesting volume. In addition to its general organization as a cookbook, it is cross-referenced to many different topics.

Foods of the Foreign Born Foods Of The Foreign-Born In Relation To Health, By Bertha M. Wood...With A Foreword By Michael M. Davis, Jr. Boston, Whitcomb & Barrows, 1922. The book derives from a study, undertaken in connection with the Americanization Study supported by the Carnegie Corporation. It had the support of many members of the various foreign groups who worked with these reformers for the betterment of their own people. Ms Wood felt that those who wished to change the eating habits of the immigrants first needed to know and understand the culture and the people they were dealing with. Thus, the food habits of the following groups are studied: Mexican, Portuguese, Italian, Hungarian, Poles and other Slavic peoples, Armenians, Syrians, Turks, Greeks and Jews. Each chapter contains suggested recipes, taking each specific group into account.

The recipes are American, English, French and German as well as Jewish. That the book is non-kosher is readily apparent by the many recipes for oysters, crab, ham, shrimp and lobster. Many recipes have German names: Mohn Plaetzchen (Poppy Seed Cookies), Pfefferneusse (Nutmeg Cakes), Baseler Leckerlein, German Lebkuchen, Leberknadel (Liver Dumplings), and Gansleber in Sulz (Goose Liver in Goose Fat), for example.
