Welcome to BOOKCOOK's Fine and Rare Bookstore.We have been an upstanding member of the Ebay selling community since 1998.Please take a moment to browse around and enjoy the book featured here that was specially selected for you.This amazing little gem is just a treasure trove of real New England cookery. It is a handwritten manuscript of dozens of favorite recipes, c. 1890. There is no actual notation of place or time, but given the recipes included it is most certainly from the New England area as there are quite a few recipes for Indian Puddings (see history of Indian Pudding below) and brown breads. All of the recipes are carefully written in this composition book similar to the books used by students in a one room classroom in the 1890's era. As you can see, this one was truly loved. It is complete with some spots and stains. Also noteworthy is the right edge that appears it was rescued from a fire by the owner who probably only had enough time to collect the most cherished items from the house in such an emergency. Being rescued and surviving over 100 years, it has found its way into this marketplace for the very first time. While it does have its cosmetic issues, it also is such a diamond in the rough with its wonderful, authentic recipes. From brown breads to pies to puddings galore, you can be sure that this one is a must have for the serious collector or dealer of antique handwritten recipe books.Includes the following recipes:Brown Bread * Rolled Oats Brown Bread * Brown Bread * Milkless Brown Bread * Corn Cake (using Indian meal) * Cream Cake * Cheap Cream Cake * Cream * Chocolate Cake * Filling * Chocolate Cake * Raisin Cake * Dark Cake * Chocolate Cake * Plain Cake * Poverty Cake * Delicious Cakes * Chocolate Cake * Applesauce Cake * Pork Cake * Molasses Cake * Sponge Cake * Orange Cake * Applesauce Cake * Fruit Cake * Fruit Cake * 2-Egg Feather Cake * Molasses Cake * Cake * Paragon Marble Cake * Chocolate and Cocoanut Filling * Orange Custard * Lemon Pie * Frosted Lemon Pie * Lemon Pie * Cocoa Cream Pie * Cranberry Pie * Cream Pie * Raisin Pie * Custard Pie * Mock-mince Pie * Cream Pie * Cream * Rhubarb Custard Pie * Raisin Pie * Washington Pie * Maplewood Pie * Cream Pie * Apple Custard Pie * Sponge Lemon Pie * Washington Cream Pie * Cocoa Cream Pie * Ginger Pudding * Lemon Shortcake * Baked Indian Pudding * Simple Orange Pudding * Lemon Frosted Rice Pudding * Mrs. O's Indian Pudding * Prune Pudding * Apple Snow * Sweet Chocolate Pudding * Banana Pudding * Baked Apple Tapioca Pudding * Chocolate Custard * Jelly Roll * Indian Pudding * Railroad Pudding * Bread Pudding * Apple Pudding * Ginger Pudding * Aunt Lan's Rice Pudding * Raspberry Bread Pudding * Raspberry Float * Chocolate Bread Pudding * Hermits * Filled Cookies * Filling * Molasses Cookies * Molasses Cookies * Snap Cookies * Sugar Cookies * Molasses Cake * Graham Wafers * Sallie's Cookies * Sugar Doughnuts * Molasses Doughnuts * Sugar Doughnuts * Molasses Cookies * Soft Gingerbread * Angel Gingerbread * Lard Gingerbread * Eggless Gingerbread * Sour Milk Doughnuts * Corn Chowder * Prune Whip * Raisin Puffs * Pudding Sauce * Foamy Sauce * Cream Icing * Orange Icing * Chocolate Cream * Coffee Icing * Chocolate Icing * Cream Filling * A Nice Filling * Sauce * Cake Filling * Cream Puffs * Made Cream * Salad Dressing * Cold Slaw * Salad Dressing * Beef Stew with Peas * Creamed Eggs * Egg Hamlets.Indian Pudding | History of a Classic New England DessertIndian Pudding is a traditional New England recipe, it might not be pretty, but few New England desserts can rival its claim to fame as the most comprehensive of our regional sweet dishes.
