First Families Cookbook

Do you have family recipes from the 1700s or 1800s that you would like to share? We are also looking for photographs and family stories. Why? The Bolduc House Museum is compiling an illustrated cookbook using recipes, family stories, and photographs from the earliest families who settled in Ste. Genevieve County. We’ll sell the cookbook to raise money for our Rozier Library and Heritage Room. Here’s how you can contribute your family recipes, stories, and photographs. To submit a family recipe, story, or photograph please email these details to: [email protected]
