| JEWEL COOKBOOK A Compendium of Useful Information Pertaining to Every Branch of Domestic Economy. A Manual for Every Household, Also a Book of Knowledge …. By Mrs. Ella J. Wells, Revised and Enlarged by Miss Bessie R. Burton; Book of Knowledge by Edward R. Sails, Chemist. © 1890 Published by Jewell & Co., Publishers, Chicago. 8” x 5” hardcover. Illustrated. 411 pages.
Condition: Exterior as shown in photo. Front inner hinge cracked and showing webbing. Binding is firm and secure. Text is clean and complete. Some foxing. Pages are toned at the edges due to the cheaper pulp used by the publishers 122 years ago. There are several pages near the middle where the type is a bit muddy and blurry, again due to inexpensive publishing practices. No torn, loose or missing pages. No dampstains, no musty smells.
DESCRIPTION:
Rarely have I seen so many old-time recipes, receipts, instructions and various nuggets of practical information crammed between two covers!
Here’s a fantastic 19th-century cookbook and collection of practical receipts for the household, health, beauty, business and other fields. It’s actually two-volumes-in-one. The cookery section is the largest portion of the book – more than 300 pages and more than 600 recipes that are bound to leave your mouth watering and your hands itching to get started cooking! Entrees, vegetable dishes, salads, pastries and other desserts, breakfast dishes … mm-mmm!
The second part consists of household how-to, family management, manufacturer’s and professional trade secrets – more than 600 in all! How to make beers, wines, brandies, different types of soap and perfume, pharmaceuticals, hints for the home and shop and much, much more. And some of them are truly uncommon (including poisons and – gulp – embalming fluid!)
Combined, this incredible book contains more than 1250 recipes and receipts!
The Introduction states:
The present volume is made up of tested recipes and is designed for use. Herein will be found much information that will interest every house-keeper. For those who desire, full directions are given for making the best Bread, Pastry, Soups, Preserves, Pickles, Sauces and Condiments. The most approved methods for cooking all kinds of Meats, Fish, Fowls and Vegetables are clearly explained, and the secrets of making delicious Confectionery and richest Ice Creams are herein open to all who will read.
The Book of Knowledge and Reliable Recipes – which is a part of this volume, gives more than a thousand ways of getting rich. These recipes are of the highest interest alike to the Matron and Maid, whether looking for the useful and the pleasing in the home, or for beauty and attraction in form and feature, to the Man who is searching for dollars, and the boy who is interested in fish and game, or in business experiment
This is perhaps the most valuable compilation of recipes ever given to the Public …
To give you the clearest and most accurate description of this antique book of wonders, I have provided a helpful arrangement of the Contents below. I hope you will take a few moments to have a look.
NOTE: I recently acquired a wonderful collection of antique cookbooks, etc. Some I have offered on eBay already.
