Angelina Maria Collins

Angelina Maria Collins ( – ) was an American writer. She wrote the first cookbook published in Indiana.

In 1851, she published Mrs. Collins’ Table Receipts; Adapted to Western Housewifery. In 1857 it was republished as The Great Western Cookbook, Or Table Receipts Adapted to Western Housewifery. Recipes included were for "California soup", a recipe for making bullion cubes named for those travelling to the California Gold Rush, corn pone, "Succotash a la Tecumseh", and mock turtle soup.

Collins also wrote a temperance novel, Mrs. Ben Darby: Or The Weal and Woe of a Social Life (1853). In his survey of early Indiana literature, Arthur Shumaker writes that it is "terrible" and "sheer propaganda": "It is difficult to enumerate the number of habitual drunkards, who reel and rage their way through the pages of this novel, leaving almost innumerable innocent victims along the way." He notes that it is unusual for a temperance novel in that it focuses on the drunkenness of a woman instead of a man.

Angelina Maria Collins died on 28 September 1885 in Salem, Indiana.
