Our Vintage Cookbook Collection
SERVE recipes came almost exclusively from previously published American Legion Auxiliary community cookbooks—from 1919 to 2018, nationwide!
This interactive map shows where books were originally published. We collected nearly 90 books: many were donated by Auxiliary members and friends; others were purchased from online auctions.
Many of the covers are pictured below. Check out the variety!
