Hand-Book of Practical Cookery for Ladies and Professional Cooks (Illustrated)

• The book is an edited and illustrated version of the original one and includes 18 or more unique illustrations which are relevant to its content.
• ”We did not intend to make a book, such as that of CARÈME, which cannot be used at all except by cooks of very wealthy families, and with which one cannot make a dinner costing less than twenty dollars a head. Such a book is to housekeepers or plain cooks what a Latin dictionary is to a person of merely elementary education.”
