Presented as published in 1898. Historical recipes may not meet modern food-safety standards. Cook from the modern interpretation, not the original instructions.
A veritable book of sweets, full of choice recipes, with com- plete instructions for making the many delicacies that delight both young and old. It is the result of careful practice in teaching beginners how to make attractive, wholesome and palatable varieties of home-made candies. As a rule, these are made from uncooked sugar and white of egg, and while they may be palatable to some persons, to the connoisseur they are coarse and heavy. The excel- lency of the recipes consists in their simplicity and faithfulness to minutiae. " The book is very simple in its explanations, very minute and full, and, all in all, by far the best working manual for home use of which we have any knowledge.** — The Independent.
