After collecting recipes from some of the best cooks in the area, the Spring Valley United Methodist Church Cookbook is off the press. You'll know many of the cooks who have submitted over 400 recipes in 220 pages.
But not just a cookbook, it relates stories of the village and accounts of how the railroad (in about 1840) turned farm land into a bustling industrial town on the Little Miami river. There are many photos of how it was then and how it is today.
It has stories of Methodism in Spring Valley - it tells how a group of worshippers who had been served for some 30 years by Methodist Circuit Riders, realized that the population was being drawn to the railroad town of Spring Valley. So, in 1842, the congregation built a small frame building in the new village and became the Spring Valley Methodist Episcopal Church.
There is also a section on the Common Cup - some of their favorite Wednesday night recipes and photos of the activity.
The cookbook is a fundraiser to improve the church's handicap accessibility.
There will be a table set up this Wednesday night (Oct 5th) at the Food Court, courtesy of the Common Cup Council, selling the Cookbooks.
(and remember, they make great Christmas presents)
