A Book of Dorcas Dishes is a cookbook filled with family recipes that were contributed by the Dorcas Society of Hollis and Buxton in 1911.

The cookbook contains a wide variety of recipes, including soups, meats, vegetables, desserts, and more. Each recipe is accompanied by a brief description of the dish and often includes tips and suggestions for preparation. The book also includes an introduction by Wiggin, in which she discusses the importance of cooking and the role of the Dorcas Society in promoting good food and nutrition.
