About This Item
Springfield, Ohio: Crowell & Kirkpatrick Co., 1901. Cover dated 1901. Worn copy with brittle pages, includes many small engravings of surprisingly fancy and elaborate serving presentations (aspic in swan molds, little pressed forms of beef, fancy fois gras preparations, etc.), with not only farm recipes but quite fussy French cuisine. Softcover, ends at page 380, probably one page missing (index ends with Rice Waffles). Covers worn at the edges with some chipping to the spine ends, some surface spots, binding generally sound but with title page and final several pages detached but present (due to brittleness), pages age-toned and somewhat brittle but clean, no names or other markings. Contains "thousands of recipes...contributed by celebrated chefs and more than two hundred experienced housekeepers...covering every branch of cookery, with special directions for serving at table; also preserving, pickling, candy-making etc.". . Soft Cover. Fair. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
