 ouraging people to prepare a recipe from this antique community cookbook a
 nd discuss the results. The cookbook is available online via the Universit
 y of Illinois. Now a little history on the Ossoli Club:</p>\n<p>The Ossoli
  Club of Highland Park started in the rooms of the Highland Park Club Hous
 e (HPCH) in 1894. Efforts to begin a woman&rsquo\;s club at the HPCH were 
 met with skepticism until George Boulton declared that it was &ldquo\;only
  a fad\,&rdquo\; and to let them amuse themselves. The initial name was &l
 squo\;The Monday Club.&rsquo\; Six months later\, following a national tre
 nd\, they renamed themselves the &lsquo\;Ossoli Club&rsquo\; in deference 
 to Margaret Fuller (1810-1840)\, a transcendentalism writer. Ida (Mrs. Dan
 iel) Cobb\, charter member and president (1898-1900)\, wrote\, &ldquo\;Pre
 vious to the year 1894\, Reading Clubs afforded the only mental stimulus i
 n Highland Park and little coteries of women with similar tastes would mee
 t and discuss the subjects of the day...until we decided Highland Park cou
 ld no longer afford to be without a woman&rsquo\;s club.&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>A
 nother keystone accomplishment of the Ossoli Club was the establishment an
 d maintenance of the first public beach* in Highland Park in 1911. The Clu
 b maintained the beach\, provided swimming lessons\, play equipment in the
  sand and in the water\, changing rooms\, chaperones\, and lifeguards from
  the Young Men&rsquo\;s Club\; with yearly improvements until the City and
  Park District took over those responsibilities. Funds from the sale of th
 is cookbook were used for these yearly improvements.</p>\n<p>*Central Aven
 ue Beach where the North Shore Yacht Club is located in 2021.</p>\n<p><str
 ong>Cookin' with Books will start at 7:30PM CST every other Tuesday night.
