MRS. NORTONS COOK-BOOK, VOL. 1

Selecting, Cooking, and Serving for the Home TableI have tried to make this a cook book, pure and simple, avoiding all reference to, and rules of, chemistry, feeling that the pupils of the schools of domestic science have all such information and their training will enable them to adapt any desired recipe to fit their own chemical measurements. The lay woman would not ordinarily use such information if it were given.Feeling that all women would prefer to find adequate information as to season, time of cooking, and so on, directly with the recipe for the cooking of that particular food, I have incorporated all information in that way - with each recipe - rather than in separate tables.Believing the question of temperance to be a purely personal one, I have included wines and liquors in various recipes, where their presence is considered by culinary experts to be a decided improvement in the flavoring of the dish.As fashions in table decorations change with the seasons, I have decided to omit from these pages pictures of set tables.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
