A propos de cet article

First Edition. Original publisher's mustard-yellow cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine. Small gilt motif of grapes on spine. Black lettering on front cover. 5" x 7 1/4." 216 pages, complete. Index and Classified Index in back. Pages are very clean and intact overall except for light age toning and staining on a few pages (Pages 12-13 appear to have the most staining; any other stains are few and far between). Covers are very clean and intact except for slight darkening and slight bumping and wear to corners and head and tail of spine. A Very Good copy. A charming and unique novel that doubles as a cookbook. Recipes are told in narrative form as part of the characters' dialogues. Many of the recipes do not have exact measurements, cooking temperatures, or cook times. Author Emma P. Ewing considers this work to be, first and foremost, a cookbook. In the first chapter, the main character, Kate, who drives the narrative, is speaking with her cousin, Emeline, who is planning a summer sojourn with her daughter, Alice. As they discuss their plans, Kate discloses to Emeline that she wishes to write a cookbook she believes can help solve many societal problems. Kate believes that women can do much social good and gain much more societal influence if they make their homes a place of welcome. According to her, many homemakers and housekeepers make the mistake of focusing too much on cooking fancy pastries and desserts instead of perfecting essential foods and drinks such as bread, steak, potatoes, and coffee. Kate implies that inhabitants of a home who are subject to poorly prepared food or drink are prone to unhappiness and become apathetic to societal issues. Thus, Ewing's cookbook-novel focuses on the types of foods and drinks that Kate champions such as bread, beef, chicken, coffee, tea, soup, vegetables, and simple cakes and desserts. The chapters are generally organized by the types of recipes discussed in that chapter. Chapter titles: "How It Happened," "How We Made Bread," "Still Dabbling in Dough," "Food and Fancy," "Griddle-Cakes and Other Things," "Breakfast-Table Gossip," "At Dinner," "Omelet and Dainty Dishes," "In the Orchard," "Edibles and Education," and "Little Things." The Classified Index organizes recipes by "Breakfast," "Dinner," "Relishes and Pickles," "Desserts," and "Tea Dishes." A sampling of the specific recipes included herein: "Beef, frizzled," "Chicken, broiled," "Egg-plant, fried," "Fish, fried," "Omelet with parsley," "Waffles," "Beans, baked," "Cabbage, boiled," "Oysters, scalloped," "Potatoes, mashed," "Soup," "Catsup, cucumber," "Salad dressing," "Tomatoes, picked green," "Pie, apple," "Shortcake, strawberry," "Tea, green," "Biscuit, Maryland," "Cake, loaf," "Doughnuts," "Jam, currant," "Muffins, corn," "Rolls, plain," and "Toast.".…
