The Kennedy United Church Choir takes great pleasure in presenting this cook book to meet the cooking needs of whatever home it enters, whether it be country or urban. The Committee in charge feels that the project has been worthwhile and hopes that the large area which this book will serve will benefit from the wide selection of recipes and from the products advertised for the good of all. The Committee appointed by the Choir wishes to thank all contributors, advertisers and those who so graciously submitted tested and tried recipes for household use. This book has been published for the building of our church and for the upbuilding of the constitutions of the people whom it serves.
