A Selection of 50 Favorite Recipes From All 50 States – Jim Broyhill

A Selection of 50 Favorite Recipes From All 50 States is an unusual community/campaign cookbook associated with James T. Broyhill of North Carolina. The booklet brings together recipes furnished by political and community figures from across the United States and was produced in connection with Broyhill's congressional reelection efforts.

The booklet includes a letter from James T. Broyhill, a preface explaining the 50-state recipe project, recipes credited to members of Congress and Republican committee members, and a family/campaign photograph. The back cover reads “Let’s Keep Jim Broyhill in Congress / Your Recipe for Good Government.”

Historical context: James T. Broyhill represented North Carolina in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1963 to 1986 and briefly served in the U.S. Senate in 1986. The cookbook itself is undated in the photographed material, so this listing does not assign an unverified publication year.

Condition: Pre-owned vintage booklet with age/handling wear visible in the photographs. Please review all images for condition and contents.

A distinctive piece for collectors of vintage cookbooks, North Carolina history, political ephemera and mid-century community material.
