Wolff’s Cook Book: Tempting Dishes Prepared from World-Famous Wolff’s Buckwheat Products
Wolff’s products, produced in Birkett’s Mills, NY, have been in business since the 19th century. Widely known for their kasha (a grainlike product made primarily from buckwheat), their products have been staples of Jewish households in America for over 100 years. This cookbook, produced in 1946, is a promotional item created to showcase different recipes beyond their well-loved kasha.

Reaching New Consumers
IN THE LATE 19th and early 20th centuries, immigrants from Eastern Europe comprised a large wave of migratory activity. These immigrants, largely Yiddish-speaking Ashkenazi Jews from countries such as Russia, Galicia, and Poland, were fleeing from the pogroms sweeping the Eastern European countryside. This new wave of immigrants were conservative in their religious practice, in contrast to the more Reform-minded German-speaking Jews who had immigrated in mid-19th century. This explosion of Orthodox, Yiddish speaking Jews in America also created the realization by corporations that this was potentially a growth market for consumer goods.
Manufacturers then created cookbooks and ephemera specifically designed to sell kosher products, including traditional brands like Manischewitz, but also widely used products like Crisco. Crisco was the first shortening to be 100% made of vegetable oil, making it kosher, but Proctor & Gamble (the manufacturers of Crisco) also engaged in a widespread marketing campaign of cookbook giveaways, including this one in English and Yiddish.

Crisco Recipes For the Jewish Housewife
These cookbooks were created by Proctor & Gamble in 1933 as a promotional item encouraging the sale of Crisco to recent Eastern European émigrés, printed in both Yiddish and English for maximum appeal. The manufacturers put a note in the introduction that the decision to print in both languages was so a Yiddish speaking mother and English speaking daughter could follow along and cook together, without language as a barrier.
