All rights reserved PubUshed, October, 1912 THE UNIVERSITY PRESS, CAMBRIDGE, V. S. A. ©CU328478 " The art of cookery, when not allied with a degenerate taste or with gluttony, is one of the aiteria of a peoples civilization." " We grow like what we eat ; Bad food depresses, good food exalts us like an inspiration." PREFACE WITH the advancement of the art of cookery, it has become impossible to compress within the limits of a single volume the wealth of material which is at hand. It is now seventeen years since The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book was first published. Since that time it has been frequently revised and a large number of new recipes added, first in the form of an appendix and addenda, later incorporated in logical order throughout the volume. But the results of the labors and experiments of the last seven years have, I believe, justified the publication of an entirely new work. It will be understood that this new work is in no sense a sub- stitute for my earlier one, but rather a sequel. It is, let me repeat, a comprehensive survey of the progress of the last few years and contains recipes economical and simple as well as expensive and elab- orate, covering the whole range of cookery. My earnest hope is that the book will fulfil a real and vital need. I cannot send it forth without an expression of sincere appreciation for the kindly aid of enthusiastic pupils and devoted teachers. F. M. F. Boston, September, 1912.

A generation or two ago each household had its favorite cups and spoons of varying sizes which helped as guides in measuring. It was in these days that one often heard the statement, " Cooks are born, not made." Good judgment coupled with experience taught some to measure by sight, which was a step towards good results, but the vast ma- jority needed definite guides. Thus arose the neces- sity of uniform measuring cups and spoons which are an essential in every kitchen. Measuring cups (holding one-half pint), divided into quarters or thirds, are made of tin, graniteware, or glass and may be bought of any dealer in kitchen furnishings or at large department stores. Measur- ing spoons come in two sizes, the smaller of which is called a teaspoon, the larger a tablespoon. Mixing spoons, which are somewhat larger than tablespoons, should not be confounded with them. A case knife, which is used for levelling as well as dividing ingre- 2 A NEW BOOK OF COOKERY dients, is also necessary to make measuring as accurate as is possible. All ingredients are measured level. A cupful is measured level. A tablespoonful is measured level. A teaspoonful is measured level. TO MEASURE DRY INGREDIENTS I. By cwpfuls. Put in the ingredient to be measured by spoon- fuls or from a scoop, round slightly and level with a case knife for a cupful. For fractions of cupfuls fill in like manner to correct division line indicated in cup. Never shake the cup while filling. II. By teaspoonfuls or tablespoonfub. Dip spoon in ingredient, fill, lift, and level with a case knife having the sharp edge of knife towards tip of spoon. Divide "v^dth a case knife lengthwise of spoon for a half spoonful. Divide halves cross- wise for quarters, and quarters crosswise for eighths. Less than one-eighth teaspoonful is called a few grains. TO MEASURE BUTTER, LARD, AND OTHER SOLID FATS I. By cupfuls. Pack solidly into cup and level with a case knife for a cupful. For fractions of cupfuls pack in like man- ner to correct division line indicated in cup. u Five O'Clock Tea Tray. Accompaniments to the Five O'Clock Cup op Tea. HOW TO MEASURE INGREDIENTS 3 II, By teaspoonfuls or tablespoonfuls. Pack solidly into spoon and level with a case knife. Divide with a case knife lengthwise of spoon for a half spoonful. Divide halves crosswise for quarters, and quarters crosswise for eighths. TO MEASURE LIQUIDS I. By cupfuls. Pour liquid to be measured into cup and fill to very top for cupfuls. A cupful of liquid is all that the cup will hold and cannot be easily moved from one place to another without overflowdng. For fractions of cupfuls fill in like manner to correct division hne indicated in cup. II. By teaspoonfuls or tablespoonfuls. Dip spoon in liquid, fill and lift, taking up all the spoon will hold. When dry ingredients, liquids, and fats are all called for in the same recipe, measure in the order given, thereby using but one cup. HOW TO COMBINE INGREDIENTS Next to measuring comes care in combining, — a fact not always recognized by the inexperienced. Three ways are considered, — stirring, beating, and cutting and folding. To stir, mix by using circular motion, widening the circles until all is blended. Stirring is the motion ordinarily employed in all cookery, alone or in com- bination with beating. 4 A NEW BOOK OF COOEERY To heat, turn ingredient or ingredients over and over, continually bringing the under part to the sur- face, thus allowing the utensil used for beating to be constantly brought in contact with bottom of the dish and throughout the mixture. To cut and fold, introduce one ingredient into an- other ingredient or mixture by two motions: with a spoon, a repeated vertical downward motion, known as cutting, and a turning over and over of mixture, allowing bowl of spoon each time to come in contact with bottom of dish, is called folding. These re- peated motions are alternated until thorough blend- ing is accomplished. By stirring, ingredients are mixed; hy heating, a large amount of air is inclosed; hy cutting and Jolding, air already introduced is prevented from escaping. CHAPTER II BEVERAGES Hawaiian Five o'clock Tea A LLOW to each cup of five o'clock tea three cubes •^ *■ prepared pineapple cubes and sugar to taste.

BOSTON Sole Agents for the United States and Canada Next time you bake or fry Try COTTOLENE Wherever you now use butter or lard in short- ening or frying, just try COTTOLENE, the original — and best — vegetable-oil cooking fat; you'll be delighted with the results. COTTOLENE makes cakes even lighter, and finer in texture, than when butter is used — and not one in a thousand can taste the slightest differ- ence. In piecrust, doughnuts, and for all frying, COTTOLENE gives better results than lard, and is very much more wholesome. COTTOLENE costs only about half as much as butter and there is a still further saving in the fact that one-third less COTTOLENE is required ; a pound of COTTOLENE will go as far as a pound and a half of either butter or lard. Try COTTO- LENE in one of your favorite re- cipes; one test will convince that COT- TOLENE is "equal to butter, better than lard, more economical than either."

It makes the bread more palatable, digestible and wholesome. Such a leaven is FLEISCHMANN'S YEAST. Used by the best bread makers of the country with perfect success for nearly half a century.

D. & L. Slade Co., Boston 191 State Street *PURE* EXTfiftCrS SQUIRE'S KETTLE RENDERED PURE LEAF LARD A GENERATION ago there was only one kind of lard, — made from fat taken from any part of the hog. Today there is in use Leaf Lard, made from the raw leaf only; Lard made from fat taken from other parts of the pig, and many substitutes for Lard, made from cotton-seed oil, beef drippings, oils and any other substance which has some shortening power. The leaves are Nature's way of storing up food in the years of plenty for the year of famine. The bear lives all winter with- out eating, but food is required to sustain life. He goes into winter quarters fat; he comes out lean. Nature is particular. She stores up only the best, — that which has the greatest sus- taining power for the least volume. The leaf is Nature's food, — the finest, sweetest of fats. The chemical composition and physical structure of leaf are similar to that of pure, rich cream. It looks and tastes different from other fat. It has a flaky ap- pearance and a sweet, nutty flavor. Only about four and one- naif per cent of a healthy, well-fed animal is leaf. Squire's Pure Leaf Lard is made exclusively from the leaves of healthy porkers. Mr. Squire was the first manufacturer to make a Lard a little better than any other and yet he invented no new process. He made it, and it is made today, just as Leaf Lard was made in the New England kitchen years before. He melted the pure, raw leaf in an open kettle over a fire, strained it through cloth, and ran it into pails to cool. New England families were quick to appreciate the difference. They noticed a flaky appearance, the absence of any pig odor and a sweet, nutty flavor. THOUSANDS of dollars have been spent in New England in the last few years advertising substitutes for Lard; yet such substitutes have never interfered with the increasing demand for Squire's Pure Leaf Lard. "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time." John P. Squire did not believe in fooling any of the people any of the time. There is no food sub- stance manufactured which has greater shortening power than Squire's Kettle Rendered Pure Leaf Lard. It is Nature's food, —better than mother used to make. Remember the distinction between Leaf Lard and Pure Lard. Look for the word "Leaf" in the label and ask for Squire's and the best is yours.

Coffees and Teas True to Name There is a wide variation in the price of coflfee and tea because there is a wide difference in th^e fla'vor. Genuine Java coffee, field ripened and cured by the Old Dutch Government process, has a mellow richness of flavor unequalled by any other coffee. We import the best Java Coffee produced in the Dutch East Indies. Genuine Mocha of high quality is rarely brought to the United States. Our own agent in Arabia sends us the finest produced. There are four flavors in tea: "Oolong" from Formosa, "English Breakfast" from China, "Green" from Japan, and "Orange Pekoe" from India and Ceylon. From each country comes a little tea that is delicate and fine in flavor. We import from all these countries teas nvorth from 30 cents to 60 cents a pound, and a few teas ivorth from $1.00 to $2.00. After January, 191 3, we can mail anywhere any quantity of coffee or tea at very reasonable prices. You can have coffee and tea fresh, uniform, and of genuine fine flavor if you want it.

It is. You can keep house without a cook, but not without soap. You must have it; and the purer it is, the better. Ivory Soap is pure — purer than soaps that sell for five times its price; very much purer than einy soap that sells at or anywhere near its price. And because of its purity. Ivory Soap is available for scores of purposes for which ordinary soaps are un. safe and unsatisfactory. More and more, American housekeepers appreciate that fact. More andmore, they realize that Ivory Soap is a product on which they can rely. It is pure. And purity, in soap, is as necessary as it is in food. Ivory Soap . . . 99*>foo Per Cent. Pure
