Green & Gold
Cookery Book
The Green and Gold Cookery
Book was started as a fund raiser for King's College.
It was first published in 1923
The school community and
others contributed recipes, household & laundry hints, remedies and other
miscellaneous
information.
For those of us who are lucky
to have one of these books handed down from our mother or grandmother etc.,
we know what a great little cook book they are and many
women still use them in preference to many other cook
books in our collections. It is hard to come by the early
editions today unless one is lucky enough to get one at a
garage sale, second hand or goodwill shop. There is a 1999
published 75th Anniversary edition which is available.
As a genealogical source I
thought it could be useful, or at least interesting
for researchers, being somewhat different
from the normal historical records that are held in our
libraries etc.
Note, many recipes have a
name only or name and Suburb/Town only.
Only on occasion were street addresses included in the
book.
I am not including the actual
recipes because of the huge task that it would involve, instead I will just
include the
type of recipe/remedy/hint that was submitted. A lot of
ladies submitted more than one recipe but for the main part
I have only listed one. A couple of men are also listed as
contributing recipes.
Below are entries from my 18th
edition published c1944. I will add further names from another edition at a
later date.
