One of our most
cherished mementos is this cookbook, 'The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book'.
The first copyright date is 1896.
The book was given to me by my aunt, but it was originally my great grandmother's. It is filled with her
handwritten recipes, as well.
It contains the recipe for 'Mahogany Cake', my grandfather's favorite. He was an only child
...who had 12 children of his own...the oldest boy, my dad.
The book has recipes that include directions such as 'bake in a moderate oven' without any times given. And these...
The
hidden sisters would love to spend an afternoon having tea...
Or have
good coffee after dinner...
We'd *love* to have a 'Chocolate Service'....
It also has
wonderful advertisements in the back...
Do you have any recipes or cookbooks that are
dear to you?
