Leipper Family Recipe Book

For the 2003 edition of the Family Recipe Book, I has scanned some of the recipes in the various recipe boxes that belonged to my grandmothers, Jo Harrison and Myrtle Leipper, my mother, Virginia Leipper and my own collection. In the fall of 2023 I scanned all of the rest of recipes and other materials in the recipe boxes . One set I wasn’t sure if they were Mother’s or her mother, Jo Harrison so that material is under Jo Harrison & Virginia. I scanned each collection into a set of parts as PDF files. These smaller parts make the documents more manageable and easier to open that one large document.

These are handwriting samples of Jo, Myrtle, Virginia and Diane. The idea was to make it more likely to recognize who wrote what recipes in the following PDF documents. Click on the sample to see a larger view

These recipes weren’t in any particular recipe box so they can’t accurately be identified as to who they belonged to.
