Book excerpt: Excerpt from Excelsior Cook Book, and Housekeeper's Aid: Containing Receipts for Cooking All Kinds of Meats, Fowl, Fish: And Making Gravies, Soups, Sauces, Bread, Cakes, Pastry, Puddings, Custards, Preserves, Essences, Cunning Fruit, the Making of Butter, Cheese, Soaps, the Art of Dyeing, Antidotes for Poison In presenting this work to the public, the author ventures to hope that she is offering a book which will meet the demands of housekeepers in any sphere of life, and which will furnish rules and directions for the proper management of household matters and the skillful discharge of domestic duties. The receipts here given have all been thoroughly tested by experienced housekeepers, and have only to be strictly followed to prove their superior excellence. Economy, which at all times and under all circumstances should he practiced, has not been forgotten; therefore, one of the most, common objections against cook books generally, namely, their extravagance, has been avoided. Beside rules for cooking, the book contains directions for the treatment of various diseases; also for making butter and cheese, soap-making, dyeing, and the toilet, which alone are worth four tunes the price of the book to every housekeeper. The result of twenty-five years' experience, and selections from the best, and most approved authors, are humbly submitted to the public, and the writer feels confident that her work will be, what its name indicates, an "Excelsior Cook Book."
