This WWI-era cookbook was likely published soon after the founding of the Los Angeles Chapter of The Red Cross in 1916. The first offices were on Broadway in DTLA.
Today, The American Red Cross Los Angeles Region serves nearly 10 million SoCal residents, particularly aiding the community during natural disasters, such as fires.
There are several wartime-influenced cookbooks in the Community Cookbook Archive, such as a Vietnam War era cookbook compiled by Airforce wives and Burnt Toast: Victory Edition, published during WWII
