  • Simple, reliable methods for preparing common foods from bread to rice and vegetables

  • Guidance on balancing flavors, textures, and nutrition in everyday meals

  • Plainspoken advice about how a well-run kitchen can improve family life

  • Practical notes on planning meals and maintaining a comfortable, welcoming home

Présentation de l'éditeur

To GRACE GREENWOOD: Mt Dbab Friend, To yon who so nearly fill my ideal of a true American woman, I would like to inscribe this little Yolume; bat as it is more espeoiaU ywritten for younger women than yon and I, the proper thing, I presume, is to ask you to permit me to dedicate it to your artlessly charming daughter. I know right well you will cheerfully grant the request. But before doing so, I fancy you quizzically inquiring, and myself gravely informing you, about the nature of the yolume, somewhat in this wise: Is the book a novel tA little like a novel. Or, is it a cook-book tA good deal like a cook-book fO r, a volume of sermons fV ery like a volume of sermons. A h, well! then it must be a good book. Oyes! a remarkably good book. Therefore, in the hope that she will find pleasure in its perusal, COOKING AND CASTLE-BUILDING IS To ANNIE niPPINCOTT. No woman of her age, I am very confident, can read it without profit. And no housewife, I flatter myself, can carefully follow its directions and advice without doing something to aid on the cause so dear to your and my heart, by having her table supplied with well-prepared food; and thus helping to secure fbr herself, her family, and her friends, that most desirable of earthly attainments pusasamt homx.

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
