The Rural Cook Book: Some Old Recipes and Many New Ones--Being the Collected Wisdom of a Legion of Home Cooks (Classic Reprint)

For many years The R. N.-Y. has been collecting tested recipes from an immense army of practical housewives. Some are entirely original; others are doubtless modifications of familiar practice. It is an easy matter to mislay a recipe not needed for immediate use, and we are thus often asked to repeat their publication, not once, but perhaps a dozen times. For this reason it seemed wise to print a selection of these recipes in permanent form, and The Rural Cook Book was decided upon, as a successor toT he Business Hen and The Farmer sG arden. Before we had finished assembling our material, however, we discovered that we had enough recipes alone to fill four books of the required size, and the question became not what to put in, but what to leave out. It was decided that we must give as much space as possible to canning, preserving, pickling, and other uses of fruit and vegetables, as such recipes are especially useful to farm housekeepers. This little book is not intended, however, to be a complete guide to domestic economy; in spite of its omissions we feel sure that it will be found a real practical helper, and we also think it will fill a place left vacant by many a more pretentious volume.
