About This Item
Edinburgh: Practical Training School of Cookery and Housekeeping, 1903. In publisher's gilt green cloth, price partially excised from front board and crossed out on title page, some pages grubby, binding beginning to loosen, but otherwise very good.. A delightful turn-of-the-twentieth-century volume, which in addition to dozens of recipes, provides a price list of lessons Griggs taught, including cookery, dressmaking, and laundry work, along with several pages of ads including for a typewriter and Cadbury. The recipes include British pub food staples like rarebit but also a fare number (pun intended) of French recipes. Griggs was an owner of the Practical Training School of Cookery and Housekeeping, on 137 George Street, Edinburgh.
