the ""we care cookbook"" that feeds millions
Robert and Kathy Reed—a young married couple living
in Saratoga, California—are just plain folks like
most of us . . . except for one astounding fact.
Since December 1972 they've helped feed 1,500,000 children
scattered throughout Honduras, Haiti, Greece and other
hunger-pocked areas of the globe! How so? The Reeds each
made a very personal decision to not let a
crisis-crunched world overwhelm them. Instead, Bob and
Kathy optimistically concentrated on finding something
they could do to alleviate human suffering. And
this lead to their affiliation with the Cooperative for
American Relief Everywhere.

"Although we were vaguely aware of CARE's existence
before," Bob says, "we'd never contributed. But now the
light came on." And a blazing light it was. Quickly
bypassing the easy option of making regular donations to
the Cooperative, the Reeds used their own natural ingenuity
and deep concern to produce something that would snowball
their talents into massive assistance for a famineridden
world. That "something" is—of course—the WE
CARE COOKBOOK.
After spending weeks researching hundreds of "receipt
books" from the 1800's and early 1900's at the University
of California—and working with the close cooperation
of the San Francisco Field Office of CARE—Bob and
Kathy published the COOKBOOK. It contains 300 of the best
old-timey recipes they could gather . . . all based on
natural-food ingredients and reprinted in their original
wording (hurrah!). Here's a sampling of the goodies that
graced the dining tables of our forefathers and are
featured in the Reeds' kitchen manual: scalloped tomatoes,
individual chicken shortcakes, oyster croquettes, ham
boiled in cider, chocolate gingerbread, wine jelly, lemon
ice cream (from scratch) and deviled crabs. The attractive
pen sketches and borderline prints throughout the guide
further enhance its old-fashioned appeal.
