The Century Cook Book
The Century Cook Book, by Mary Ronald, was a comprehensive American cookbook of the 1890s, published by the Century Company and illustrated with photographs of finished dishes. It opens with the etiquette of entertaining: how to lay and decorate the table, serve formal and informal dinners, luncheons and afternoon teas, followed by a homily on cooking as a pleasure. It then covers the whole range of the kitchen, from soups, broths and garnishes through fish, meats, poultry and game, vegetables, salads, sauces and breads to puddings, ices, cakes, preserves and candies, along with dishes for invalids. A group of New England recipes was contributed by Susan Coolidge, and there are a few Southern dishes. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the opening pages free.
