Hardcover. Condition: Good. Black & White Photographs By F.S. Lincoln (illustrator). First Edition. 6 X 8" 292 pages from 1935. "This is no cook book in the usual sense of the word. It is the result of a constant demand and a sincere desire. The demand came from the guests of the Alice Foote MacDougall Restaurants and her desire to share some of the recipes for the more popular dishes of her home and her Restaurants. It has also the purpose of showing in a wasteful world how good things can be made from next to nothing and how waste can be all but eliminated. ".
"This is the cook book for which the housewife of moderate means has always wished ... Mrs. MacDougall shows how meals may be made inexpensive and pleasing to look at and yet easy to prepare."--Front flap of dust jacket.
I love the emphasis on non-wasteful cooking which began in a Toll House restaurant in Massachusetts. This depression era cook book is full of great essays on keeping a thrifty larder and home. I love it, and I hope you will too.
