Annotations:
Originally published in 1902. PREFACE: The purpose of this book is to assist the house-keeper and hostess in selecting a menu suitable for the most elaborate repast or the simplest meal to enable her to estimate the cost of either at average market prices - allowing for local differences, to know how to prepare and serve each dish and to provide a quantity sufficient for six persons. The authors intention is to put before her readers a book which will enable them to practise both economy and hospitality and to make it possible for the inexperienced to calculate exactly the cost of a projected entertainment, how to cook it and how to serve it.... Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
