The Original White House Cookbook
The Original White House Cookbook
I have to confess, I can get lost in this 1984 printing of the 1887 White House Cookbook "A comprehensive cyclopedia of information for the home." Besides recipes - how about Huckleberry Pound Cake - this cookbook features "toilet and household recipes, menus, dinner-giving, table etiquette, care of the sick, health suggestions, facts worth knowing,etc.' - all the narratives and even typographic errors of the first one form 1887 so the reader is getting a "flavor" of the times. Spinach, for example, for complaints of the kidneys. Asparagus purifies the blood. Red ones are an excellent diuretic and white ones are recommended raw as a remedy for insomnia. Shipped with an adjustable daisy cookbook holder in case one wants to immediately try some of the recipes. Great gift for that cookbook, or history buff, on your gift list.
