Uncoster Farm Women Society 22
BY SUZANNE KEENE
LANCASTER Simple, easy-to
follow recipes that use basic
ingredients are part of the reason
the Lancaster Society of Farm
Women'Number 22 has been so
successful in publishing code
books. The society recently
published its third cookbook,
“Dinner Bell Encore,” which
became available for the first time
this week.
“People like our recipes because
they’re down to earth,” said
Barbara Martin, a member of the
cookbook committee who typed the
300-page book herself.
The recipes call for ingredients
that most cooks have in the cup
board and are easy to follow, she
continued.
Nancy Witmer, another com
mittee member, has distriubted
copies of the previous two cook
books to countries as far away as
Africa, Germany and Switzerland.
“She really has sent them far
and wide,” Barbara said. And
despite all the work involved in
processing mail orders, Barbara
said Nancy has never complained
or asked for assistance.
“She really likes it,” she said.
The six-member cookbook
committee put a lot of hard work
into the book, first deciding what
categories to include and then
soliciting recipes from the group’s
28 members. The committee added
a new slim gourmet section which
includes recipes for low-calorie,
low-sodium dishes like Noodles
and Broccoli Casserole and
California Orange Chicken Salad,
Barbara said.
“Everybody’s thinking a little
more about nutrition now,” she
explained.
Some recipes contain microwave
instructions, but the committee
decided against making
microwave recipes a separate
section because they thought the
recipes would get more use if they
were included in the other sections.
“We do have a lot of recipes that
give microwave directions,” she
said, adding that many of the
recipes have directions for both
conventional and microwave
ovens.
Once they agreed on the
categories, the committee asked
each society member to submit
five recipes a month from April to
December. The response was
good, Barbara said, and the
completed cookbook ended up with
more recipes than the committee
had anticipated.
As the recipes came in, the
committee filed them according to
category. Barbara said she
frequently updated the group on
the number of recipes coming in
for each category to assure a
similar number of recipes in each
section.
As the recipes came in the
committee proofread them to
make sure that no obvious
ingredients were missing, to
eliminate duplicates, and to screen
out recipes that were in the
previous cookbooks.
The next major task in the
project - typing all 600 recipes - fell
to Barbara. She estimates that she
spent 300 to 350 hours typing, but
added that she did not keep an
accurate record of her hours.
While Barbara says that she would
not want to type another cookbook,
she said the wouldn’t mind
working on another cookbook in a
different capacity.
When the recipes were typed,
they were proofread once again for
errors.
“There really is a lot of time
spent on each recipe,” Barbara
emphasized.
publishes third cookbook
Another new feature in this
cookbook is a complete index,
which was a very time-consuming
project, Barbara said. The com
mittee spent one whole week on
this project, putting each redpe
title on an index card with all
possible index listings. In the
limited time she has had the
cookbook, Barbara said she has
found the index accurate and
helpful.
The society ordered 2,000 copies
of the book in the first printing, and
plan to sell most of them by the end

are still other needs that we don’t
see around us.”
