Rose Baboian's Armenian American Cook Book 1964 3rd Printing

What a brilliant self published cookbook by Rose Baboian of Watertown, MA.

Painstakingly compiled featuring beloved, historically significant Armenian cuisine.

Highly detailed instructions, many complex recipes for holiday specialties for those who love a challenge.

Lots of traditional secrets revealed, like soaking Munster cheese before you mash it. 

Who knew?

Used but well cared for, there are some marks and stains from use.

I purchased this with other items from the Sherborn, MA family estate of former Reagan admin US Ambassador to Switzerland, Faith Whittlesey, just this past weekend. A well publicized sale.

It was obvious at the sale that the Ambassador loved to cook or her husband loved to cook.
