Book Description

This reprint of a now-very-rare 1899 cookbook of Southern cooking is sprinkled with advertisements of turn-of-the-century Austin businesses as presented in the original book and with over twenty-five rare, old-time views of the Capitol which have been added to this new edition. The volume is much more than just a rarity-it is also a very good cookbook of clearly stated and easily followed recipes; one of the twenty-four sectional categories of recipes contains over 100 of the ladies' prized cake recipes, followed by a section of dozens of icings. It will appeal to those who love Austin and Texas as well as to those who good food.
