Description

Published in New York in 1829, Modern Domestic Cookery, and Useful Receipt Book shares both helpful household managing tips and over 650 recipes that are particularly adapted to combine ';economy and gentility in its receipts and directions.'Author W.A. Henderson states in the preface that the intent of the book is help women have knowledge of ';domestic cookery, which, [the author] must be suffered to remark, is a subject of infinitely greater importance to her than superficial requirements, whether we consider her as a daughter, wife, or mother.'With this intent, Modern Domestic Cookery, and Useful Receipt Book provides practical household information such as managing family accounts, scheduling meals, carving meats, and properly setting a table, including diagrams.Henderson completes this tome of domestic information with an extensive recipe list that includes dishes such as Beef Steak Pie, Portugal Cakes, Spinach Tarts, Calf's Head, and Hare Tugged.
