The Delmonico Cook Book: How to Buy Food, How to Cook It, and How to Serve It.

by Alexander Filippini

M^r. Charles C. Delmonico,
My Dear Sir:—

Your are, no doubt, acquainted with the fact, that for the past five years, I have been engaged upon a work, designed for the use of private families. This work, which embraces the culinary art of the past and present, together, with a collection of Menus from almost every country in world, is now completed.

Having been with “Delmonico’s” for nearly a quarter of a century; and as a mark of reverence for those departed and of respect and esteem to those living, I should feel honored by your permission, to dedicate the book

To the Delmonico Family

Very Sincerely
Yours obedient Servant
Alessandro Filippini

Mr. A. Filippini,
Dear Sir,

The work which you have now completed, I have no doubt, will prove instructive and invaluable.

Your labors in the house of Delmonico, satifactory as they have been, should be a sufficient guarantee, of your comprehensive knowledge of the subject.
