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. Helpful cooking
and canning tips, a meat cook
ing guide, and key to reading
and deciphering food labels also
are included.
