Author Description

Excerpt from The Unrivalled Cook-Book and Housekeeper's Guide Tim unrivalle'd' cook-book is largely compiled from p1ivate sources. The two hundred C1eole 1ecei-pts furnished the Editor by her kind friend, Madame of New Orleans, have been heirlooms in her family for more than a century It is believed that no American cook book has yet contained so complete a list of Creole receipts, while other private rece1pt -books - American (north and South), Enghsh Scotch, F rench German, Ital ian, and Russian - have been placed at the Editor's dis posalf The old-fashioned English and Scotch receipts for spiced beef, Hunter's beef, Devonshire clotted cream, oat meal and white scones, etc., are scarcely to be found in other American cook-books, and this is still more true in regard to the-russian soups - exceptionally good of their kind - the Italian monastic dishes, and many other re ceipts, notably those for macaroni of all kinds.
