Presented as published in 1918. Historical recipes may not meet modern food-safety standards. Cook from the modern interpretation, not the original instructions.
Note: The number of foods prepared in each lesson will depend on the length of the class period, and working facilities. Three hours once a week is much better than a shorter period twice a week. It is some- times desirable to review one or two fundamental recipes, like biscuits, until each member of the class is proficient. The number of recipes made by each student should depend upon the length of the lesson.
