Book Description

Excerpt from Presbyterian Cook Book In compiling this book the committee has tried to profit by the kindly criticisms of the previous cook books. It has labored to maintain the high standard of the first books, and wherever possible to surpass them. In asking the public for the same generous patronage they have accorded us in the past, we feel we are giving in return a book that will make the culinary way clear to the new housekeeper, and solve many perplexing questions for the cook of more experience. We wish to thank our friends for their generosity in sup plying the hundreds of recipes with which the book is filled. Many, just as good have been reluctantly discarded, because they were duplicates. Some have been lost, as they were written in pencil, or on both sides of the paper. Some have been unsigned and could not be credited. But in every case we have tried to be as just as our friends were generous. The business public has been courteous and generous to us in the way of advertising and we are very grateful.
