Cook Book, Compiled and Published by the Board of Directors of the Larkin Children's Home, Elgin, Illinois

Elgin, Ill: Willson Press, 1915. Hardcover. First edition; 8 x 5; pp. [11], 8-156, [8]; light-blue oilcloth over boards, with dark-blue decorations; thin cracks to cloth along spine; hinges reinforced with thin strips of linen; scattered spots, mostly to margins of several pages; corners and tips of spine rubbed; illustrated with a photograph frontis and advertisements; several manuscript recipes to last few leaves; overall in good or better condition. The Larkin Children's Home's history can be traced back to 1892, when Ms. Mary Peabody of Elgin, Ill. was asked to care for 3-day old twins, whose mother had died of pneumonia. Hearing of her generous spirit, soon several more children were handed off to her. In 1894 and 1895, her home would be known as "The Miss Mary Peabody Home for Babies." In 1896, The Elgin Children's Home Association was formed to "..care for and to provide for the wants of destitute, abused or neglected children under 14 years old.." Soon after, as Mary Peabody's home could not hold all the children anymore, a farmer by the name of Cyrus Elgin donated, in the name of his mother, a large house to the organization. They insisted on calling themselves "a home" and not "an orphanage," since their mission was for the children to eventually be reunited with their families. Today, the organization is still active, with 7 group homes and 60 severely abused and neglected children under its protection and care. The book contains an impressive array of recipes - from confectionary to salads and from meats to soups and sauces. OCLC lists 3 copies of the first edition at institutions; none other in the trade (as of May 2021). Ill.: 0. Good 2.

Vegetarianka (A Vegetarian) [Pseud. for Zelenkova, Olga]

Ia Nikogo Ne Em!" 365 Vegetarianskikh Meniu I Rukovodstvo Dlia Prigotovleniia Vegetarianskikh Kushanii. 1500 Retseptov Po Vremenam Goda ("I Don't Eat Anyone!" 365 Vegetarian Menus and a Guide to Preparing Vegetarian Dishes. 1500 Seasonal Recipes)

S.-Peterburg (St. Petersburg), Tipografiia A. S. Suvorina, 1906. Second edition, 7th-thousand, expanded and revised for 6 persons, instead of 10, n. d. (ca 1906); green cloth over boards, printed in black and decorated with an elaborate, floral border; illustrated with advertisements at the beginning and end of the book; endpapers perished, else complete; hinges strengthened with cloth tape; a bit of fraying and spotting to margins and edges of boards; in good condition. Though, the subject of vegetarianism in Russia would invariably bring to mind Lev Tolstoy and, indeed, the Posrednik publishing house he had co-founded would publish several works on vegetarianism in the 1890s - the very first vegetarian cook book in the country would be the current one, respectively written by and edited by the husband-and-wife team of Olga Zelenkova (1845 - 1921) and Aleksandr Petrovich Zelenkov (1850 - 1914). He was a surgeon, the founder of a sanitarium in Riga, and the co-founder and chairman of the first vegetarian society in Russia, the latter established in St. Petersburg and called "Ni ryba, ni miaso" (Neither Fish, Nor Flesh). Also a staunch crusader against alcohol, Zelenkov advocated for the combined benefits of both..a crusade, which initially did little to boost the popularity of vegetarianism in Russia. His wife, on the other hand, though sharing his beliefs, sagely chose not to touch the subject of drinking and just to approach the subject by emphasizing its benefits. The book was divided into sections - firstly, by seasons, with menues for breakfast and lunch for each day, starting with No.1 in the winter; then, the recipies for each menu were presented and cross-referenced. There were also chapters on kitchen equipment, on preserves, on buying fresh vegetables in St. Petersburg during wintertime, etc. Good .
