Others are newly developed for this book. All have met the strict standards of Good Housekeeping's food department. The staff checked and rechecked these recipes, trying several brands of ingredients, eliminating extra steps, using fewer utensils, confirming the cooking times, making sure they are nutritionally sound and, most importantly, that they tasted as good as they looked. The popularity of microwave ovens and an increasing concern with nutritional values have been the major factors to affect cooking since the book was first published. In this revised edition, we have included a chapter of microwave recipes as well as color photographs of microwave techniques and equipment. Each recipe in the book is now accompanied by a calorie count." ; Contents: Before you cook -- Color index -- Appetizers -- Soups -- Eggs -- Cheese -- Shellfish -- Fish -- Meat -- Poultry -- Vegetables -- Fruit -- Salads -- Pasta -- Rice -- Pies -- Desserts -- Ice cream and sherbert -- Cakes -- Cookies -- Candy -- Quick breads -- Yeast breads -- Sandwiches -- Sauces -- Beverages -- Microwave cooking -- Useful information. ; thick, heavy volume ; VG.

Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. As new condition oblong blue boards, gold front cover lettering, and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition photographic and color illustrated dust jacket. Includes In Honor of Neith: The finest of the Herreshoff classic yachts still afloat; Foreword; The Master - Nathanael Green Herreshoff; The Man to Whom the Master Wrote: William Picard Stephens; Their Annotator: John W. Streeter; List of Illustrations; Bibliography and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and line drawings. "The last letters of Nathanael G. Herreshoff and W.P. Stephens are a biographer's godsend as original sources. From their own accounts we perceive them evolving during the peaking of the industrial revolution as self-made leaders - Stephens achieving recognition as the 'dean' of chroniclers of yachting history and Herreshoff as the 'dean' of naval architects. John Streeter's annotations (Notes) constitute a historian's treasure-trove in amplification and explanation of the persons, yachts and yachting events being discussed in Their Last Letters. They unveil the drama of an age during which the fortunes of the new capitalists carried the competition for the America's Cup to extremes unmatched until recent times. The drama was fueld by designs from the Herreshoff drawing board and recorded by Stephens in numerous magazines and newspapers. The Notes create a three-dimentsional dialog among the writers. They examine heretofore unexplained episodes in yachting history such as the bizarre protest by Lord Dunraven against DEFENDER that resulted in his expulsion from the New York Yacht Club. The dialog between the two is expanded in an appendix that includes Stephens' landmark paper, presented at a conference of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers and critiqued by Herreshoff. In another appendix Herreshoff's blind brother Lewis reveals an endearing relationship between siblings (destined ultimately to unravel) in his log of the two sailing their novel catamaran from Bristol to West Point and back. The lively dialectic between a naval architect and a yachting historian, who remain virtually without peers in their respective fields, combined with Streeter's Notes make Their Lasts Letters unique in the annals of yachting." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…

THE HUNTING OF THE LANDThe location of the farm for this experiment was of the utmost importance.The land must be within reasonable distance of the city and near a rail-road, consequently within easy touch of the market; and if possible it mustbe near a thriving village, to insure good train service. As to size, I was some-what uncertain; my minimum limit was 150 acres and 400 the maximum.The land must be fertile, or capable of being made so.I advertised for a farm of from two hundred to four hundred acres, withinthirty-five miles of town, and convenient to a good line of transportation.Fifty-seven replies came, of which forty-six were impossible, eleven worth asecond reading, and five worth investigating. My third trip carried me thirtymiles southwest of the city, to a village almost wholly made up of wealthypeople who did business in town, and who had their permanent or theirsummer homes in this village. There were probably twenty-seven or twenty-eight hundred people in the village, most of whom owned estates of fromone to thirty acres, varying in value from $10,000 to $100,000.
