Lots of Interesting Recipes

(3 Sterne)

As with many old cookbooks, measuring is not standardized, some ingredients go by different names, and the household hints can be downright toxic. Still, there's plenty of variety in this book, especially in the steamed and/or boiled pudding category, as well as various sweets.

Excellent Cookbook and more!

(5 Sterne)

This Cookbook is better than I thought it would be. It has all types of recipes from soup to nuts! I especially liked the information regarding making perfume and soaps.
