Description

This domestic manual, first published in 1909, offers a “Collection of Reliable Recipes” intended for everyday household use. Amy Atkinson and Grace Holroyd’s work covers a broad range of classic domestic dishes, including soups, meats, puddings, pastries, and preserves. The guide emphasizes economy and includes an introductory section specifically focused on the relatively new technology of cookery by gas, making it a practical resource for early 20th-century home cooks.
