In Good Taste...Sampling the Cookbook Collection

As we approach several months of holiday dining opportunities, consider browsing Steenbock’s cookbook collection to find recipes to old standards and new flavors.

The cookbook collection began with a generous donation in 1965 by Madison resident Mortimer Levitan as a memorial to his mother. This initial donation included 2615 titles. Today, the cookbook collection continues to grow and focuses upon culinary history, trends, and regional and world cuisines.

Should you wish to sample the cookbook collection, it can be found in the first floor book stacks, TX call-number range. Bon appetit!
