Well, that's not quite true...

1901
"The Settlement Cook Book" began as a German-Jewish cookbook, created 
by a woman who sought to help the wave of immigrants that swept into 
the United States at the turn of the century. First issued in 1901 as 
a pamphlet containing one hundred German Jewish and 
turn-of-the-century American recipes, it has proved to be one of the 
most successful American cookbooks. Lizzie Black Kander, the daughter 
of German-Jewish pioneer farmers, compiled the "The Settlement Cook 
Book". She was also known as the Jane Adams of Milwaukee for her work 
on behalf of Eastern European immigrants.

I have my mother's copy from the 1940's or early 1950's worn and 
stained. It's real homey.
