Synopsis
This is a classic cookbook. The first five introductory pages include no-frills basic information about cooking methods, temperatures, measurements, etc. Twenty-four tabbed recipe chapters follow, each with its own table of contents on the first page. These chapters include appetizers, beverages, breads, cakes, candies, canning & preserving, cereals, cheese, cookies, eggs, fish & wild game, frozen desserts, fruits, gelatin, icings & fillings, meats, pastries, poultry, puddings, salads & dressings, sandwiches, sauces, soups, and vegetables. Unlike many old cookbooks, the recipes do include oven temperatures. They are composed of basic ingredients and many will, by nature, be more time-consuming to prepare than those in most modern cookbooks. Not all ingredients are healthy (sugar, shortening, etc.) but, then, they taste great!
