The Shaker Cook Book: Not by Bread Alone by Caroline B. Piercy | Vintage Shaker Cookbook | 1953 First Edition | Bixley Shop

"Shaker cookery has been famous since the early Federal Period, when the "kitchen sisters" who dedicated their hands to work and hearts to God, devised the essential American way of feeding the families of their large communities... The Shaker Cook Book provides the heart-warming, "old-fashioned" ideas about food which made their communal kitchens known throughout the land."

So says the dust jacket for The Shaker Cook Book written by Caroline B. Piercy in 1953.
