Description

76 + [4] ad pp. Pictorial gray wrappers. First Edition. London: H. Virtue & Co., 1900.

A charming Victorian-era book on making food for invalids, babies, economically challenged households, and soup-lovers. Mulligatawny, oyster soup, mutton broth, rabbit broth, peasant s broth-maigre, etc. The average cost of each ingredient is added to a column next to every recipe! Most of wrappers lacking along spine, else very good and bright – a remarkable survival.
