This 1993 cookbook contains recipes by past and present members of the Congressional Club, which was essentially formed as a ladies' social club for the wives of US Senators and Congressmen. Since the first edition in 1927, one of the main activities of the club was publishing the Congressional Club Cookbook. This edition is the twelfth.

The 950 page book has many hundreds of recipes submitted by spouses of current and past Senators, Congressmen, Supreme Court Justices, state Governors, Ambassadors, and Cabinet members, as well as former First Ladies. There's also a section of recipes submitted by the men themselves. Each recipe is accompanied by a replica signature of the submitter, and in the case of first ladies, a photograph or two.

The book has a red faux textured leather cover with gold lettering, fancy printed floral endpapers, a red ribbon bookmark. The pages are printed on palest pink heavy fibered paper. There are no tears, stains, or dogears and the binding is tight. There's a gift inscription on the back of the front endpaper, no other writing. Measurements: 10-1/4 by 7-1/2 by 2-1/2 inches thick.
