Mary Lincoln founded the Boston Cooking School. Her book contained the lessons and recipies. There are lessons on how to build a fire in a wood stove and explainations of proper diet for the "sick room" as well as a complete discussion on wheat, yeast and bread making. Learn "how a new housewife without near neighbors" can make her own yeast for her breadmaking. This was the first cookbook to use standardized measurements. In addition, the advertisments put an interesting historical perspective on many of our familiar brands. Mary Lincoln hired Fanny Farmer to be the school's principal. Fanny put out a second edition under her own name without any credit to Mary Lincoln....
