The White Ribbon Cook Book | by Kathryn Armstrong
The recipes in this volume have been most carefully selected and are the result of practical experience, all of them having been tested by myself or by other practical housekeepers. I trust that they and all who may have occasion to use this little book will be satisfied with my effort to prove that wine, brandy and spirituous liquors of any kind may be dispensed with, and that no culinary requirement necessitates the introduction of these poisons into any household.
