A New Book of Cookery

Another classic from one of America's earliest cooks. This is a companion book to Fannie Farmer’s first book, The Boston Cooking School Cook Book, also available from the iBookstore. Containing recipes for more than 900 dishes and with more than 230 photos, some in color, this book is sure to please. It also has a lot more goodies for those of you with a sweet tooth, and contains a section on vegetarian dishes.

Known throughout the world for her cakes, cookies and confections that have resulted in over a million copies of her books sold, this book offers you delectable treats such as Chocolate Opera Caramels, Birthday Cake, Anniversary Cake, and After Dinner Mints, as well as menu choices such as American-style Pot Roast, Rice and Cheese Croquettes, and much more!

From her foreword, she says, "With the advancement of the art of cookery, it has become impossible to compress within the limits of a single volume the wealth of material which is at hand. It is now seventeen years since the Boston Cooking School Cook Book was first published. Since that time it has been frequently revised and a large number of new recipes added, first in the form of an appendix and addenda, later incorporated in logical order throughout the volume. But the results of the labors and experiments of the last seven years have, I believe, justified the publication of an entirely new work. It will be understood that this new work is in no sense a substitute for my earlier one, but rather a sequel. It is, let me repeat, a comprehensive survey of the progress of the last few years and contains recipes economical and simple as well as expensive and elaborate, covering the whole range of cookery.

"My earnest hope is that the book will fulfill a real and vital need. I cannot send it forth without an expression of sincere appreciation for the kindly aid of enthusiastic pupils and devoted teachers."
