This is a season when, naturally, particular attention is paid to the cookery department of a household. Old and new mistresses of the kitchen will be glad to learn of a new edition of Miss Parloa's "Original Appledore Cook Book" The new matter which has been added is in keeping with the original characteristics of the work-simplicity and reliability-and the range of the receipts embraces staple, fancy and medicinal cookery. The author's name is the best commendation possible. -The Review of Reviews, Vol. 7 [1893] From the author's Preface. In offering this little book to the public, I am aware that there are many good cook books in the market already. But I trust that this will supply a want which has always been felt by young housekeepers. The great trouble with all the cook books which I have known (and I am constantly hearing the same complaint) is, that they are too expensive, and that they use weight instead of measure, and also that they take for granted that the young housekeeper knows many things which she really does not. This want I have endeavored to supply in this little volume. Having had years of experience as a cook in private families and hotels, I know the wants of the masses, and feel competent to supply them. I have arranged this book in two parts - one for plain, and one for rich cooking. In the First Part will be found minute directions for cooking everything that is within the reach of an ordinary family. In Part Second will be found directions for richer cooking. There is not one receipt in the book which has not been proved to be good. There are very few which I have not used myself, and of the value of those I am fully assured, having seen nearly all of them tried. The rules for jellies, charlotte russe, and creams will be found to be worth twice the price of the book. Many of the visitors to the Rockingham House, Portsmouth, N. H., Pavilion Hotel, Wolfborough, N. H, McMillan House, North Conway, N. H, and the Appledore House, Isle of Shoals, will find many dishes with which they expressed themselves pleased while the writer was pastry cook at those houses.
