1890 Fruits, and How to Use Them. A Practical Manual for Housekeepers; Containing Nearly Seven Hundred Recipes For Wholesome Preparations of Foreign and Domestic Fruits

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon

The first edition of this work. An uncommon work. A fascinating guide to the cooking of fruit, looking at various recipes for fruit puddings, and at how to preserve fruits. The author set out to write this work when she realised that there was no simple and comprehensive work on the subject of the preparation of fruits. She intended to book to be of use to the housekeeper who finds themselves with an abundance of fruit. Written by Hester Martha Poole, who is well known for this work, which was her last work. She wrote a series of articles for the 'Home Maker', and 'Good Housekeeping'. With eighteen pages of publisher's adverts to the rear.
