The Complete Fannie Merritt Farmer Cook Book

Six of Fannie Farmer’s cook books have been compiled into this mammoth single volume, containing nearly 3,500 recipes and more than 350 illustrations! Never before has Miss Farmer’s wealth of knowledge been condensed into such a mighty single book. You’ll find dozens of recipes for soups, salads, breads, dinner entrées, desserts, etc., among others.

With nearly 4 million copies of her first book, The Boston Cooking School Cook Book sold worldwide since its original publication, you can be sure that these recipes have been well-received on countless dinner tables. Fannie Farmer was known as the “Mother of Level Measures” for her recipes that took the guesswork out of measurements.

Plus, this book has been thoughtfully styled and formatted to make it easy to read on your iPads and iPhones, with links between related recipes and methods, footnotes, and includes an extensive index. Whether you are searching for a favorite comfort food recipe (many consider her recipe for Brownies to be awesome), or for something different for an everyday meal, take a look inside!

The Boston Cooking School Cook Book forms this work’s backbone. The other titles that have been logically incorporated (without importing duplicate recipes) are:—

A New Book of Cookery,

Catering for Special Occasions with Menus and Recipes,

A Book of Good Dinners for My Friend,

Chafing Dish Possibilities, and

Priscilla Cook Book for Everyday Housekeepers,

all of which are also available from the iBooks Store. Recipes that were similar to those existing in the Boston Cooking School Cook Book have been included here, with the addition of an incremented serial number to the recipe name, i.e. Boiled Dressing 3, etc.

Food and Cookery for the Sick and Convalescent, her seminal work on diet and food preparation for ill people, has not been included in this book, due to its specialized subject matter, but it too is available from the iBooks Store.
