This is a cookbook to which Sarah Duryea Bryant contributed recipes. The wonderful thing about this cookbook is that all the recipes were printed as the contributor wrote them in their own hand.

Sarah (Sally) Bryant had graduated from the school of nursing of the Methodist Hospital. So did two of her three daughters: Jane Bryant Irvin and Judy Bryant Pearsall.

I don't remember eating many things she cooked but I can remember the wonderful Pepperidge Farm Whole Wheat Toast that she would give us for breakfast. Toasted just right with plenty of melted butter. OH MY... It was so good! I bought some a few years ago trying to duplicate what I remember but they are not making it the same way.

I do also remember that she would make us eat a teaspoon of wheat germ from a bottle. Dry. Awful.

When you stayed overnight with her she made us brush our teeth with baking soda.

She loved to eat fats. Although there is one photo of her with her nursing class she looked fat... to us she was always skinny and she lived a long life.

She would save leftovers when she came to visit like they were a treasure, even if they were only a tablespoon. She would wrap it and put it in the refrigerator. Death to anyone who touched it!
