Transcriber's Note
Minor punctuation errors have been repaired. Hyphenation and accent usage has been made consistent.
There are some errors in calculation in places; these have been preserved as printed. For example, addition errors in the table on pp. 377-8.
Variable spelling is preserved as printed (e.g. sirup and syrup).
12 M. has been used inconsistently, to indicate either 12 Midnight or 12 Midday. It has been preserved as printed in all cases.
Calorie count or separate ingredients lists are omitted from some recipes; these are left as printed.
The 'Eggs' section, starting on page 95, has no recipes included. However, the following 'Fruit Beverages' section has a large number of egg recipes included in it. Whether this was an error or intentional is unclear, so the sections and ordering of recipes have been preserved as they appeared in the original publication.
The recipe for Foamy Sauce appears twice, once each on page 111 and 112. There is no apparent difference apart from the calorie amount. Both versions have been left in place.
The recipe for Sauce for Puddings (page 112) appears identical to the recipe for Wine or Fruit Sauce (page 111), except for the recipe name and calorie amounts. Both versions have been left in place.
The table heading on page 117 refers to cuts of lamb and mutton, while the table itself refers to lamb and veal. This has been left as printed.
There are two instances of a recipe called Beef Juice, on pages 119 and 141. Both have been left in place as printed.
