UNIONVILLE, MD - The congregation of Linganore United Methodist Church has produced a gem of a cookbook full of delicious recipes in cele bration of a very special anniversary. Titled “Bread Of Life”, the 125 page spiral-bound book contains almost 300 recipes submitted by more than 60 members of the church con gregation. The church will celebrate its 200th anniversary in 1999, and the cookbook is a part of that celebration. As a way of com memorating the history of the church, cookbook committee members reached out to all members of the congregation, asking for their favorite and tastiest recipes. The result is a mouthwatering compilation of 286 recipes, some that span two and even three generations of the church family. Recently, county residents had an opportunity to tour the i church as part of a tour of his toric churches of Frederick County, Maryland. The church, located in Unionville, near Union Bridge, has its origins in the Linganore Chapel, a log , building that was purchased by the Methodist Society in 1799. In 1867 construction began on a new building. That century old building, along with more mod ern additions in 1970 and 1984, make up the present day Linganore U.M. Church. Open this cookbook and you will find recipes that range from the very traditional to the very modern, according to Sharon Fritz, one of the three members of the cookbook committee. The other two members of the comr mittee are Pat Keaton, chairper son, and Olivia Devilbiss. Mrs. Fritz explained that the church had most recently published a cookbook in 1977. Turn the pages of the cook book and you will find chapters on appetizers, relishes, and pickles; soups, salads, and sauces; meats and main dishes; vegetables; breads, roll and pas tries, and cakes, cookies and desserts. One whole chapter is devoted to beverages, microwave, and miscellaneous recipes, too.
