Mary Jane's Cook Book



It is in no way intended as a text book for beginners, although the recipes may easily and successfully be used by beginners; neither is it by any means a complete encyclopedia of cookery. But because it contains practical, every-day tried and tested recipes with many interesting new ones, and because you and I have contributed them, I am sure it will take a place on your kitchen shelf that no other book could fill.
