Description
This undated recipe book of approximately 75 pages mostly focuses on baked goods, but also includes recipes for beverages, vegetables, and pickles, as well as a few household recipes. The unknown author acknowledges having copied a number of the recipes from Mary J. Hall's Receipt Book. This book may be Mary Johns Craig Hall Receipt Book, which is also in the Winterthur collection, for Mrs. Hall marked some of the recipes in her book as having been "copied," although she does not say by whom or where. Still other recipes are credited to Grandmother Craig, Mother Morgan, and other persons.
