Friendship Club Cook Book

FOREWARD

The Friendship Club is an inter-racial women's social club. It was founded two years ago in Madison by a group of Negro and white women, who felt that in developing mutual understanding among themselves, they were thus answering a most grave result of segregation—ignorance.

In the course of its short history, the club has brought together white, Negro, Chinese, Jewish, Catholic and Protestant women; working and professional women, students and teachers, mothers and housewives.

In informal gatherings, at our pot-luck suppers, sewing bees, teas and coffee hours, the women of the Friendship Club have gained insight into each others problems and re-affirmed their confidence that if people of different races, creeds and national origins would but have the opportunity to know and appreciate each other, it would be a long step forward towards solving some of the trying problems which face us all.

This little book is a token of our friendship and faith in each other and in all people.

CONTENTS

In this little cookbook you will find the favorite recipes of the Club members and many of their friends. They are favorites for one or more of three reasons—economy, ease of preparation, or unusual tastiness.

The simplicity of the book is in keeping with the simplicity of our belief—our differences are superficial; our likenesses are fundamental. For we are all members of a single race—the human race.
