19035696Berkeley California: The Church; Printed by thePress of Standard Publishing Company 1903. Octavo 23.25 x 14 cm. iv 171 i pages. Advertisements. Index. Evident first edition but subsequent to an 1884 publication with different subtitle author statement and publisher. A generous church cookbook with seven hundred recipes; noteworthy among them: Squash Muffins Celery Root and Hearts of Artichoke Mussel Bordelaise Clam Patties Spanish Meat Pie Coffee Fruit Cake Lemon Cocoanut Cake Cookies with Sherry Monterey Pudding Gooseberry Pudding Pineapple Blanc-Mange Strawberry Mousse. ~ Congregationalists answered the call from President Daniel Coit Gilman 1831-1908 of the University of California to build a hall and organize a fellowship of moral vision within reach of the campus community. The “local church†emphasis of Congregationalist governance had already attracted the largest Protestant presence in San Francisco. After ten years of planning members of Berkeley First Congregational were called to new quarters by a recently cast bell on 30 September 1884 at the corner of Durant Avenue and Dana Street. Thus the early version of The Berkeley Cook Book subtitled A Collection of Choice and Tested Recipes celebrated the dedication of the 1884 church while its younger sibling of 1903 would have appeared in time to honor the building’s twentieth anniversary. ~ In another twenty years they would move again to a grander brick complex on Channing Way still only a few city blocks from campus designed by the Bay Area architect Horace Gardner Simpson. It served successive generations for ninety years but in September 2016 was gutted by fire and the building’s fate is undetermined as of this writing. ~ Clean and bright. Lightly wear at fore-corners and spine. Stapled in olive wrappers titled in brown. Very good.
