Description

This small (14.9 x 9.2 cm) 62-page recipe book contains 84 recipes. Most of the recipes outline cakes and cookies, with a smaller number of recipes for savory dishes ("chopped tomatoes," "chilli sauce"). There are also several candy recipes, a common feature of late 19th century recipe books, including one for horehound. There are a few household and medical recipes.

This book is part of the library's Manuscript Recipe Book Collection, 1793-1959. The catalog record contains a link to a useful finding aid.
