Date Cook Book (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Date Cook Book<br><br>It has been quite fitting that a date cook book should originate in Coachella Valley, the American home of the date.<br><br>I feel that the time is not far distant when dates will be used universally both in the fresh state and in various modes of cookery.<br><br>In its use sugar is conserved, as will be seen in the following number of recipes which need no sugar, and by others which require a smaller amount than has before been used.<br><br>Although the compilation contains many of the so called "fancy dishes," a still larger number of simple and wholesome rules may be found in its pages.<br><br>Dates are a product which perhaps lend themselves to a greater variety of uses than any other one article of food, and, consequently, I trust a book devoted exclusively to their service will find favor with all those who desire a more extended acquaintance with this most delicious fruit.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
