This is a very interesting and large cookbook. There are a total of 360 pages including the covers. The introduction page states “This cookbook contains a unique collection of regional and international recipes submitted by the employees of Massachusetts General Hospital. Proceeds from the sale of the book will go to the Employee Capital Fund Drive for building new patient care facilities. The planned construction will cause major changes in the hospital’s physical plant, similar to those when the George Robert White building was erected in 1938. The section dividers in the book chronicle this earlier construction. Therefore they act as a preview to the drama which will unfold with the new towers.”.

I only included one recipe in the pictures on the this post, but there are fifteen pictures of the entire index of this cookbook, so you can get an idea exactly how large this cookbook is and how varied the recipes are (Reddit has a 20 image limit!). They are not just Boston and Massachusetts recipes, seeing as the hospital attracted people from all over the country and the world to one location, the variety of recipes is astounding. Please go to the link to see ALL the recipes. I’m pretty confident you will find something that’ll make you say, “Well, that’s interesting!”.
