The Old And New Cook Book | by Martha Pritchard Stanford
In presenting THE OLD AND NEW COOK BOOK to my friends and to the public, I do so in full confidence in the knowledge that every one of the 576 recipes contained in the volume has been successfully used in my own kitchen. These recipes were selected from many hundreds gathered by my family through several generations. In preparing dishes from these recipes, directions as to proportions and materials used must be carefully followed, else the excellence of results will not be obtained. Nearly all of the recipes are intended to serve from six to eight persons.

But civilized man cannot live without cooks.

He may live without love,what is passion but pining ? But where is the man that can live without dining?-LuciU.
