The Pattern Cook-Book, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Pattern Cook-Book, Vol. 1<br><br>A book on cookery that is to be of genuine assistance alike to be experienced housewife and to the beginner must, in our opinion, possess two important qualifications; in the first place, the dishes and preparations presented in it must be such as may be readily made up with the facilities to be found in an ordinary household and in the second place, all instructions and directions should be couched in language so simple that every one can comprehend them. It has been our earnest endeavor that in both these respects the present work shall excel.<br><br>The recipes are eminently practical and easy to follow, all having been thoroughly and successfully tested by the author; and in their selection chief attention has been given to those unpretentious yet dainty and wholesome dishes that are so acceptable and appropriate upon the average family board.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
