A thorough food preparation volume of work of recipes, all from scratch. There are few references to commercially prepared 'short-cuts' in this text. It abounds with information on how to prepare all kinds of foods from scratch, nutritional information of the era, as well as economical hints and storage notes. Recipes range from the elegant Lobster Thermidor, to the more daily fare of Savory Meat Loaf. Unusual in that it also includes a section on Game meats, reminiscent of Granny of the TV hit "Beverly Hillbillies", in that you can find Squirrel Stew and Roast Opossum recipes, as well as those for venison and moose. There is even a section on the building plans for vegetable storage cellars.
For those of you who ever wondered Just What IS Salisbury Steak, that recipe is in here too!
