Description

This little cookbook contains approximately 100 recipes, nearly all for cakes, puddings, pastry, custards, dessert creams, and gelatin desserts. The recipes are highly sophisticated and are written in a confident, brisk, and precise idiom, suggesting that many were partly or completely copied from print sources.
