Dear PWRS Customers;

The Garbely Publishing Company has announced New Softcover Books

Description

by the Southern Pacific Company Dining Car, Hotel, Restaurant, and News Service Department

Publisher: The Garbely Publishing Company

Released: May 2024

Pages: 234

Format: 6"x9" wire-bound softcover

The pages of this original mid-century cookbook have been painstakingly scanned and digitally retouched to eliminate fading, staining, and other age issues found in the original.

The reader will find dishes that are remarkably similar to modern-day standards, as well as some that are very “of the time.” Only a handful of recipes include ingredient lists, and some of the instructions are vague; a certain level of culinary experience and knowledge to fill in these blanks was required before a Southern Pacific employee would even be issued one of these cookbooks. Most of the recipes are designed for single-portion cooking, which is different from most railroad cookbooks of the era.

This book presents the recipes exactly as the Southern Pacific set them forth on paper in 1944, spiral-bound and in a new larger format for ease of use in the kitchen. We hope you enjoy preparing these authentic “Espee” dishes in your own home!

The Union Pacific Railroad's dining cars were renowned for their service and food quality. The UP's well-trained chefs and waiters provided some of the world's finest cuisine while rolling along the eastern seaboard's steel highways. The procedures and, more importantly, the recipes used to provide that service were compiled into a single volume for the staff's reference and guidance on board the train.

This exact reprint of the UP's Dining Car Cook Book and Service Instructions dates from circa 1955, after the Milwaukee Road began handling UP trains between Chicago and Omaha. It is reproduced from an original copy in The Garbely Publishing Company's collection, which includes updates through the end of UP passenger service in 1971. From uniquely exotic 1950s recipes to those that are familiar to the modern reader, this book contains hundreds of recipes that were originally prepared aboard a UP dining car, including sauces, salads, sandwiches, entrees, sides, and desserts.

Simplicity was key aboard a rolling kitchen with limited space and ingredients, and the UP's signature dishes were designed to provide the flavor of a five-star restaurant with limited expense, time, and effort - all traits that translate well to home cooking! With many of the recipes written for cooking in bulk for a train full of passengers, this book also makes the perfect companion to any event from an upscale dinner party to a backyard barbecue. This historic book is a must-have for both the avid culinary historian and the casual railroad enthusiast.
