Martha Washington Cook Book; A Compendium of Cookery and reliable recipes

Chicago: F. T. Neely, 1892. Wraps. 316 pages. A collection of 19th-century American domestic recipes.

Recipes include yeasted breads, cakes, cosmetiques (how to clear tanned skin), beverages - inlcuding wines, punches, and cordials, invalid cookery, meat & fish dishes, remedies, household advice, preserves, sauces, and much more. Interior and wraps toned. Wraps chipped with loss at corners. Tape residue on front and back cover. Previous owner's signature on cover. Illustrated throughout. [BROWN 721]. Cream wraps. Good.
