Ridge Recipes, published by the Evening Circle of St. Matthew’s Evangelical and Reformed Church, Riverside, Missouri, in 1954, is now available in PDF format.
I received my copy from my Aunt Carolina Brenner Renner on the occasion of my (first) marriage in 1961. My favorite recipes are the German ones, dishes that Grandma and Aunt Carolina made. I long ago copied out my favorite recipes, and meanwhile, the book has been aging fast in the Texas heat, so it was now or never… The result is still a bit messy but I think all of the recipes are readable.
This copy also has Aunt Carolina’s notes plus her recipe for Mexican Wedding Cakes. Some of my other favorites are German Style Summer Pickles, Hot Potato Salad (with or without greens), Grandma’s coffee cake, cream puffs.
An aside about the coffee cake. We lived in Hamburg, Germany, for a couple of years and their butterkuchen was just like Grandma’s coffeecake except they put slivered almonds on top.
You can download it here (and it is also listed on my Resources page). The first version is complete as published, in the second version I have deleted the advertising pages.

This is terrific. Thanks a lot for putting it together. Will print and save and check back from time to time.
Love, Ruby
