From its inception, the members of the Mothers’ Club prepared and served homemade food at their events. The informal sharing of recipes over the years led to the 1969 “Easy Gourmet From Stanford” cookbook, which sold over 3000 copies at $2.75 each.
This was followed in 1985 by the “Centennial Cookbook” celebrating Stanford’s first 100 years. Containing many recipes from past years, it was thought of more as a keepsake rather than an actual cookbook since many ingredients were not longer readily available. The price had gone up to $8 each.
In 1999, “Fresh Off the Farm” celebrated 75 years of Mothers’ Club service. Mrs. Stanford’s Roman punch recipe can be found here.
The 2005 “What’s Cooking at Stanford” included recipes from two former United States Secretary of States Condoleezza Rice and George Shultz. All of the money raised by cookbooks went into the Scholarship Fund.
