The Philadelphia New Century Club Book Of Recipes PDF Download

Excerpt from The Philadelphia New Century Club Book of Recipes There is high authority for it, that of making of books there is no end. Many cook books might easily be a weariness to the flesh; but this little book goes forth confident of a welcome. It does not profess to be a book on cookery; it is what is far better, a unique collection of tried and tested recipes, many of which have been handed down from one generation to another and have never before been in print. They have been contributed by club members, many of whom have generously brought forth from cherished old manuscript books, written by hands long vanished, the most favorite family formulas for compounding things good to eat. There is a delightful personal quality about these recipes, and it is interesting to see how the recipes for the same dish vary. It is a beautiful demonstration of the fact that club women are the very best home makers. They not only have their useful fingers in many public pies, but they look well to the ways of their own households. The income from the sale of this Book of Recipes is to be used for the purchase of Club china and for other special objects, so that not only those who contributed their choice recipes, but each one who buys a copy, will have a personal share in adding to the beauty and comfort of this beloved club.
