The PWMU Cookbook has been managed by a committee since it was first published in 1904. The current PWMU Cookbook Committee structure was established in 1977 with the formation of the Uniting Church, consisting of members from both the Presbyterian and Uniting Churches in Victoria. The Committee's role is to ensure the cookbook continues to entice people into the kitchen and enjoy the benefits of their labour. Royalties provide funding for mission and teaching projects of both churches.
