Inconsistencies in spelling and hyphenation have been retained, except in cases where the index was made to match the main text.

Variations in the chapter headings and recipe names between the Table of Contents and the main text have been retained. However, the entry for recipe “57. Machine-made Biscuits” was incorrectly listed at the end of Chapter IV. in the original. It has been moved to its correct place under Chapter V.—Hard Biscuits.

The following apparent typographical errors have been corrected.

Page [3], “proteine” changed to “protein.” (consists of protein, compounds)

Page [39], “in to” changed to “into.” (crumbled into very small pieces)

Page [49], “8 ozs. eggs” changed to “8 eggs.” (in German Wafers recipe)

Page [56], “Biscuit” changed to “Biscuits.” (Sponge Biscuits)

Page [68], “pennypiece” changed to “penny piece.” (a little thicker than a penny piece)

Page [69], “vol” changed to “voil.” (in Halfpenny Scotch Cakes recipe)

Page [105], “Lunns” changed to “Luns.” (Sally Luns, 24)
