FOOTNOTES:
[A] It gives me pleasure to state, in this connection, that all of the articles named in the above catalogue (and many more) are made by the Dover Stamping Company, Boston, Mass., 88 and 90 North Street. The inventors of the inimitable Egg-Beater have proved themselves as appreciative in other respects of the needs of American housewives, and as ingenious in meeting these. I call attention to their wares, as a simple act of justice to what is so excellent in itself, and as an unsolicited thank-offering to the stranger-benefactors who have made many of my culinary duties a pastime, rather than a toil.
[B] As I have mentioned in “Breakfast, Luncheon, and Tea,” you can spare yourselves the trouble of preparing the vegetables for this soup by buying those shred and dried for this purpose, put up in packages and sold by grocers.
Transcriber’s Notes:
Obvious punctuation errors repaired. Often the recipes will contain ingredients in the instructions that were not included in the list of ingredients. See, for example, Clear Gravy Soup on page 55 where the first line mentions dicing onions that are not listed above. About two-thirds of the way through the text, the printer stopped putting the ingredients in lists and instead just used paragraphs. The recipes were retained as printed.
The index was also retained as printed. There is little rhyme nor reason in its construction and the transcriber could not ascertain the reasoning for the order of the items within.
Eight uses of “Pâté(s)” were changed to “Paté(s)” to match usage in text. Text uses both “à la Crême” and “à la Crème” for all kinds of vegetables.
“Meringue,” (and its other forms), were changed to “méringue” to match the one hundred other occurrences in the text. These changes were made on pages 46, 51, 62, 63 (three times), and 74 (twice).
The printer spells the fresh version of “Peach Lèche Crema” as “Peach Lèche-Crêma” and the version that uses canned peaches as “Peach Lèche Crèma.” Varied hyphenation retained where a majority consensus could not be ascertained, for example: “arrow-root,” “arrowroot,” etc.
