Quick Cooking - a Book of Culinary Heresies for the Busy Wives and Mothers of the Land Flora Haines Loughead Abridged edition

Originally published in 1888. PREFACE: This hand book of cookery contains 630 recipes , tested and vouched for by an experienced cook, 340 of which, if prepared according to the directions, can, severally or in groups, be made ready for the table in from five to fifteen minutes, and 250 of which, require from fifteen to forty minutes, or rarely, an hours time. The few remaining dishes , which consume more time and are distinctly segregated from the rest , are nevertheless greatly abridged, and so planned as to require the least attention. This is an informative and comprehensive cook book designed to save the busy housewife and mother time with much of the information being useful and practical today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
