Written in the midst of World War I, The Book of Corn Cookery was one woman's patriotic attempt to aid in the war effort. Mary Wade enlisted the help of American women to turn to corn recipes to feed their families efficiently and inexpensively while conserving wheat for the troops. She firmly believed that food supply could "turn the tide of war quite as much as ammunition." The result of her passion is this book, reproduced here for cooks of the 21st century to enjoy more than 150 corn recipes that provide healthy and economical meals - a quest for every generation.

Fruits and vegetables have been used for generations for their therapeutic properties in both domestic and professional practice. Many cures have been claimed from the proper use of such common foods as apples, grapes, onions, garlic, carrots, beans, and cabbage. Vegetarian Medicines by Clarence Meyer (the son of Joseph E. Meyer) contains a variety of recipes traditionally used for coughs, indigestion, wounds, or skin troubles, and for more serious conditions such as obesity, intestinal disorders, liver and gall bladder complaints, insomnia, and nervousness. All of the plants discussed in Vegetarian Medicines have specific healing properties, which help maintain the health of the body or prevent sickness.

First published in 1941 by the American Honey Institute, Old Favorite Honey Recipes was expanded in 1945 and reprinted several times between 1958 and 1977. The Iowa Honey Producers introduced The Honey Recipe Book in 1971. In 1991, the two books were combined into one handy volume and published by Meyerbooks under the title Old Favorite Honey Recipes. With this 2010 edition, Historical Images is pleased to see this popular classic back in the hands of American cooks. 
 The book has been redesigned typographically to allow measurements to be standardized and to eliminate duplication of honey facts and hints for its use. Such material has been gathered from both books into Honey Facts and Hints, omitting now-irrelevant or out-of-date material and adding notes to update some ingredients or preparation methods.
