About This Book

A practical household manual collects recipes and guidance tailored to Jewish domestic cookery alongside popular English and French dishes, emphasizing clear, economical directions tested in the editor's kitchen. It arranges instruction by course and technique—soups, sauces, fish, meats and poultry, vegetables, pastries, sweets, preserves, pickling, and remedies for invalids—and includes a second part on toilette and beauty care covering complexion, hair, teeth, hands, dress, and the effects of diet and mind on appearance. A glossary defines culinary terms and apparatus, and the overall aim is simplicity, economy, and usable household recipes.
