Mrs. Porter's New Southern Cookery Book, and Companion for Frugal and Economical Housekeepers (Classic Reprint)

Much money has been squandered in misdirected eflF orts of well-meaning, painstaking housewives to supply their tables with palatable necessaries as well as luxuries of life; in vast numbers of instances, health has been impaired and the comfort and happiness of families marred by the ignorance of those who have the supervision of the culinary department. Quite a large number of books have been written and published with the commendable design of correcting this fault; some of these have been carefully prepared by competent writers, and have been excellent so far as they went, and yet they have not been so complete and perfect as to render improvement difficult or impracticable. Those who examine thisN ew Cookery Book cannot but acknowledge that we have no call to apologize for oflP ering it to the public and expecting a large sale. I ts intrinsic merits and superiority will readily be seen by those who critically analyze the recipes, and will certainly be proved by putting them to practical test.
