 PREFACE. 
 
 '"Things for the cook, sir ; 
 But I know not what," — J^omeo and Juliet. 
 
 In presenting this Book of Recipes to our friends 
 we desire to say that it has not been the design of 
 the committee to give a complete cook book, full 
 in all departments. 
 
 But we trust it will prove an assistance to 
 the housekeepers who are engaged in the stupend- 
 ous task of cooking for the nation. 
 
 Our sincere thanks are extended to the ladies of 
 Monmouth for the recipes. The signatures are a 
 sufficient guarantee for their excellence. 
 
 We especially ask our friends to read the adver- 
 tisements that they may know who have given us 
 substantial aid. We ask for them an increased 
 patronage, which their generosity to all our public 
 enterprises justly merits.

 ''Expect spoon meat.'' — Comedy of Errors. 
 
 'The pot must smile but never laugh.''' 
 
 In making soups, put all uncooked meats and 
 bones in cold water. If cooked in hot water, adding" 
 a little at a time. Use a flat-bottomed pot and 
 keep on top of stove. It is better if made the day 
 before wanted. When cold remove fat, re-heat and 
 strain, adding vegetables as desired. Brown stock 
 is made of beef shins and a piece of coarse beef. 
 White stock, of veal shins and an old fowl, if you 
 choose. One shin of veal will make three quarts 
 of good veal stock, one hind shin of beef will make 
 five quarts — a piece of each makes the best soup. 
 All kinds of bones can be used, and all liquor in 
 which beef, mutton or poultry is boiled. Wash 
 shins — put on in cold water, skim just before it 
 boils, simmer slowly four or fiv^ hours or longer. 
 Boil vegetables separately, and add to soup stock 
 a short time before serving. Barley, rice, tapioca, 
 vermicelli, maccaroni and all vegetables may be 
 used separately or together. Also, add the water 
 in which they are boiled. Serve very hot. 
 
 To make rice, vermicelli, maccaroni or barley 
 soup, boil thoroughly in separate vessel and add 
 about quarter of an hour before serving. Cabbage, 
 tomatoes or the soup boquet, or other vegetables 
 may be also added, separately or together.

 Four pounds juicy beef, one tablespoon salt, two 
 pounds bone, one tablespoon mixed herbs, four 
 peppercorns, four clov^es, two quarts water. Cut 
 meat and bones in small pieces, boil down to three 
 pints, season to taste. Add one onion, one-half 
 carrot and turnip if you like ; strain and re-heat. 
 
 ASPAR-VGUS SOUP. 
 S. 
 
 One bunch of asparagus boiled in a quart 
 of salted water for twenty minutes. Press the 
 asparagus through a colander. Put a quart of 
 milk into a double boiler, adding a little parsley 
 and a piece of onion. For thickening use two 
 ounces of butter and three level tablespoonsfuls of 
 flour rubbed together and thinned by stirring in a 
 little of the milk. Then stir into the boiling milk 
 and stir continually until it thickens. Have the 
 asparagus and water in which it was cooked, hot 
 and mix all together. Season and serve at once. 
 
 S. 
 CELERY SOUP. 
 S. C. K. 
 
 Take four or six stalks of celery, wash and cut 
 into small pieces, using the leaves as well, cover 
 with a pint or more of boiling water, and let boil 
 half an hour. Press through a colander, do not 
 drain, but allow the Avater to go through with the 
 celery. Have in a double boiler one quart of 
 boiling milk and a slice of onion, to this add the 
 celery and water. Rub together one tablespoon 
 of butter and two tablespoons of flour. Stir into 
 boiling soup. Season with pepper and salt, and 
 serve.

 rice, in water enough to cover. Allow^ the rice 
 and celery to slowly stew until they can be rubbed 
 through a coarse seive. Have hot one pint of 
 milk and an equal quantity of strong chicken or 
 A'eal broth. Pepper and salt to taste, 
 
 NOODLE SOUP. 
 Amanda Reichard. 
 
 One egg, two tablespoonsful of water, a little 
 •salt, add to this flour to make it just as stiff as pos- 
 sible, mixing all w^ell together. Roll very thin, 
 and with a cloth under allow it to remain on the 
 board about two hours to dry, then fold in a roll 
 and with a sharp knife cut very fine, drop it slowly, 
 stirring lightly, into two quarts of boiling stock of 
 chicken or beef, the former oftener used. Boil 
 briskly ten minutes, keeping the pot tightly cov- 
 •ered. 
 
 CHICKEN SOUP, 
 
 To one chicken put five pints of cold water and 
 a slice of fat bacon, and boil it down to a quart. 
 Just before taking from fire, add a cup of cream 
 and a little thyme or parsley to season. Thicken 
 as usual — one tablespoonful of flour, rubbed into 
 one tablespoonful of butter. 
 
 Barley and rice are both nice for chicken soup. 
 They should be boiled slowly, in a separate vessel 
 and added to the soup about half an hour before 
 removing from the fire.

 yolk of one egg ; use ice cold water ; chop half the 
 butter into the flour, then stir in the egg ; work all 
 into a dough ; roll out thin ; spread on some of the 
 butter, fold closely (butter side in) and roll again ; 
 do this until the butter is all used up. Keep the 
 paste in a cool place while you prepare the oys- 
 ters. Set the oysters on the stove with liquid 
 enough to cover them. As soon as they come to 
 a boil skim them, stir in a little butter and pepper, 
 also, if desired, a little cream. Line your small

 HOW TO ROAST MEAT. 
 
 Mrs. Emma P. Ewing, of the school of domestic 
 economy at the Iowa Agricultural College, says : 
 
 In roasting meats of all kinds the method adopted 
 should be the one that in the most perfect manner 
 preserves the juices inside the meat. To roast 
 beef in the best possible manner, place the clean 
 cut side of the meat upon a smoking hot pan, 
 which must be over a quick fire. Press it close to 
 the pan until seared and slightly browned. Re- 
 verse and let the opposite side become similarly 
 seared and browned. Then put it at once in the 
 oven, the heat of which should be firm and steady, 
 but not too intense, and leave it undisturbed until 
 cooked. The time that should be allowed for 
 cooking beef in this manner is twenty minutes to 
 the pound, if it is to be rare, less half an hour de- 
 ducted from the aggregate time on account of 
 searing. In other words, a five-pound roast of 
 beef will require an hour and a quarter, a six- 
 pound roast an hour and a half, and so on. 
 
 If the oven is not too hot the beef requires no 
 basting, and is better without it. When the oven 
 is at the proper temperature, and the cooking is 
 going on all right, the meat will keep up a gentle 
 sputtering in the pan. If, upon opening the oven 
 door, this sputtering is not perceptible, more heat 
 
 Hodgcns Pine Apple lee.
 
 MEATS. 37 
 
 is required. But, if in addition to the sputtering, 
 anv smoke isdiscernable in the oven, the heat is too 
 intense, and should be lessened. Unless the heat 
 of the oven is too great, the drippings in the pan 
 will burn and smoke, and when the meat is cooked 
 there will be a thin coating of brown jelly in the 
 pan where the meat rested, which, by the addition 
 of stock or water, will make a delicious gravy. 
 
 A roast of beef should never be washed, and if 
 it has been accidentally wet or moistened, it 
 should be carefully wiped dry before it is seared or 
 put to cook. Searing almost instantly coats the 
 cut side of apiece of meat, and prevents the escape 
 of juices in the after-process of roasting, while a 
 firm, steady heat gently but thoroughly cooks it, 
 and thus both juices and flavor are preserved. 
 Basting is a troublesome, as well as a damaging, 
 process. And as salt and water have a tendency 
 to toughen and extract the juices of meat, they 
 should not be used on it while roasting, if it is de- 
 sired to have the meat sweet, juicy and tenden 
 
 ROAST BEEF. 
 M. 
 
 The best pieces for roasting are the sirloin and 
 rib pieces. When roasting in an oven dash a cup 
 of hot water over the meat; this checks the escape 
 of the juices. Baste frequently with salt, and 
 water and the drippings. If your fire is hot, allow 
 twelve minutes to the pound, if you like the beef 
 rare ; more if you prefer it well done. Thicken 
 the gravy with browned flour.

 TO ROAST BEEF. 
 M. 
 
 Put into pan without water, unless in gasoline 
 
 stove oven, when put in sufficient water to keep 
 
 from burning. Do not season. Allow twelve 
 
 minutes to a pound for a rare roast, longer if it is 
 
 desired better done. Make gravy in usual way.

 GRAVY FOR TURKEY. 
 B. M. 
 
 An excellent way to roast turkey. Wash thor- 
 oughly and wipe dry. Do not salt. Fill with 
 dressing Put without water in double roaster. 
 Do not baste. Keep fire enough to hear a gentle 
 sizzle. Bake twenty minutes for each pound. One 
 and one-half hours before it is done pour over a 
 gravy made of three large cups boiling water, three 
 tablespoons flour, first mixed with small quantity 
 of water and one-half cup of butter and salt to 
 taste. This gives sufficient moisture to the turkey 
 and makes delicious gravy, rich and brown, 
 
 A good dressing may be made of bread crumbs, 
 butter, pepper and salt, nutmeg, sage, and onions 
 if desired, well buttered slices of bread. Make 
 about right proportion. 
 
 Chicken is excellent baked in this way. Allow- 
 ing at least twenty minutes to each pound. 
 
 POT ROAST OF BEEF. 
 B. 
 Take four pounds ribbed beef, ribs taken out and

 then add water and cook one hour longer. Re-

 GOOD STEAK. 
 Mrs. Dr. W. P. Smith. 
 
 In the first place buy good steak — porterhouse — 
 have it cut tzvo inches thick ; remove all the bone 
 .and most of the fat, put the steak upon a heavy 
 hard wood block and with an iron beater — 2 inch 
 face and 36 sharp teeth, (mine weighs 2 ft)s.) — 
 bring the meat to one- half an inch in thickness. 
 JFor a gridiron use a large double bread toaster ; 
 ■open this and place the steak upon one side, ad- 
 justed to the thickness you desire it when broiled; 
 close down the other half of toaster, pushing the 
 slide clear up, to fasten the meat at the proposed 
 thickness, place this over a bed of very hot coals 
 for about ten seconds — this seals the surface and 
 prevents thejuicees running — turn it and cook the 
 • other side done, slightly browning it ; then turn 
 the first side and cook that the same — steak should 
 be broiled quick, and is best if not overdone, but 
 so that when cut 'tis very juicy and a little red in 
 centre — unclose the handles of your broiler and 
 -with forks remove your steak to a hot platter, 
 season nicely with salt and pepper, and place 
 about the surface small pieces of butter, put it in 
 the oven long enough to melt .this, then to the 
 table, and it is ready for the carver. 
 
 SPICED BEEF. 
 
 Mrs. B. 
 
 Take a piece of beef from the fore quarter, 
 weighing ten pounds — those who like fat should 
 select a fatty piece, those who prefer lean may 
 take the shoulder clod or the upper part of the

 fore leg — take one pint of salt, one teacup of mo- 
 lasses or brown sugar, and tablespoon of ground 
 cloves, allspice and pepper, and two tablespoons of 
 pulverized saltpetre; place the beef in a deep pan, 
 rub with this mixture, turn and rub each side 
 twice a day for a week, then wash off the spices, 
 put in a pot of boiling water, and, as often as it 
 boils hard, turn in a teacupful of cold water; it 
 must must simmer for five hours on the back part 
 of the stove; press under a heavy weight till it is 
 cold and you will never desire to try corned beef 
 of the butcher again, your pickle will do for another 
 ten pounds of beef, first rubbing into it a handful 
 of salt, it can be renewed and a piece kept in 
 preparation every day. 
 
 ^ TO BROIL A STEAK CHICKENS, GAME OR FISH 
 IN THE OVEN. 
 
 K. C. S. 
 
 Place the meats in a double wire broiler, put the 
 broiler over the baking pan containing an inch of 
 cold water, place the pan on the top shelf of the 
 oven, which should be very hot — for sirloin steak, 
 from eight to ten minutes, other articles according 
 to size and heat of the oven. 
 
 SPICED ROAST. 
 Mrs. J. A. Hanna. 
 
 For this either beef or mutton can be used. 
 Prepare for roasting by seasoning with salt and 
 pepper, then add one half-dozen whole cloves, one 
 dozen whole allspice, 3 tablespoons sugar, one- 
 third pint vinegar and two-thirds water; roast 
 very slowly until about a half hour before serving,

 when let it brown in a very hot oven. Baste 
 often and add water as needed. 
 
 SPRING CHICKEN. 
 Take a nice spring chicken, or a young one. 
 Clean and wash thoroughly and put in a kettle with 
 a pint and a half of cold water. Let it boil twenty 
 minutes, or until tender, but not until it falls to 
 pieces. Take out of the water. Sav^e the water 
 for the gravy. Split open the chicken on the back. 
 Put in a dripping pan, add salt and pepper and 
 little pieces of butter. Then dredge it with flour, 
 allowing some of the flour to fall into pan. Put 
 into a hot oven and brown. Watch it, and after 
 it has been in ten minutes— -for if the chicken is 
 young it takes only a few minutes — thirty at the 
 most. Take out of pan and put on a platter» 
 Take the stock, thicken and put it into the drip- 
 ping pan where the chicken has just been taken 
 out, and cook it until smooth, stirring constantly. 
 It ought to be brown if some of the flour and but- 
 ter that the chicken was baked in was left. Lastly^ 
 pour over the chicken and serve hot. If one has 
 an old fowl it must be boiled or hour or two be- 
 fore it will be tender enough to split opn. 
 
 JELLIED CHICKEN. 
 
 Mary Patterson. 
 
 Boil a fowl until it will slip easily from the 
 bones, let the water be reduced to about one pint 
 in boiling. Pick the meat from the bones in good 
 sized pieces, taking out all gristle, fat and bones. 
 Place in a wet mold, skim the fat from the liquor. 
 A little butter, pepper and salt to the taste, and 
 one-half ounce of gelatine. When this dissolves 
 pour it hot over the chicken. The liquor must be 
 seasoned pretty high, for the chicken absorbs.

 HOW TO BOIL. RICE. 
 
 Pick your rice clean and wash it in two cold 
 waters, not draining off the last water until you 
 are ready to put the rice on the fire. Prepare a 
 saucepan with water and a little salt. When it 
 boils sprinkle in the rice gradually so as not to 
 stop the boiling. Boil hard for twenty minutes, 
 keeping the pot covered. Then take it from the 
 fire and pour off the water, after which set the pot 
 on the back of the stove with the lid off to allow 
 the rice to dry and the grains to separate. 
 
 Remember — Boil rapidly from the time you cov- 
 er the pot until you take it off: this allows each 
 grain to swell to three times its normal size and 
 the motion prevents the grains from sticking to- 
 gether. Don't stir it as this will cause it to fall to 
 the bottom and burn. When properly boiled, rice 
 should be snowy white, perfectly dry and soft, 
 and every grain separate and alone.

 BREAD. 
 
 "Nature has meal and bran.'" — Cvmbeline. 
 
 A cook can not acquire a more valuable accom- 
 plishment than that of making good bread. Noth- 
 ing but experience will secure the name merited 
 by so few — ^'an excellent bread maker." The 
 first requisite is good flour; the second, good yeast; 
 the third, watchful care. There is force in the old 
 lament, '*My bread took cold last night," too 
 much heat carries forward the process too rapidly 
 and the dough will become sour. Correct this by 
 dissolving a little soda in warm water and working 
 it in well. The oven should not be too hot. If you 
 •can not hold your bare arm in it while you count 
 thirty, it is too quick. Keep the heat steady after 
 the bread goes in. The time for baking is not less 
 than three-quarters of an hour, and bread baked 
 an hour is more wholesome, 
 
 YEAST. 
 
 Mrs. Seth Pratt. 
 
 Three pints of water, six large potatoes. When 
 potatoes are done take the potato water and pour 
 over one pint of flour, then add one tablespoon of 
 salt. Mash the potatoes thoroughly and mix with 
 the flour, and thin with cold water until cold 
 enough to put in the yeast. Use two and one-half 
 cakes of Magic yeast.

 Mrs. Geo. Babcock. 
 
 At noon, boil one large potato in enough water 
 to scald one cup of flour, when cool enough add

 78 BREAD. 
 
 one-half cake of dry yeast dissolved. At night 
 add I quart of warm water and make a sponge, 
 beating well ; in the morning add one-half cup of 
 sugar, one-half cup of melted lard and salt, and 
 mix till smooth. Let rise, knead down, let rise 
 again, then make into loaves, let rise and bake. 
 To save out three or four tablespoons of the scalded 
 yeast, before making sponge, is better for the next 
 baking than using fresh yeast. 
 
 BREAD. 
 
 Mrs. Seth Pratt. 
 
 One pint of yeast, two pints of warm water, one 
 tablespoon of lard, two tablespoons of sugar, mix 
 into dough, let it rise, mould, let rise again and 
 then mould to put into the tins. 
 
 BREAD, 
 
 Mrs. W. S. Walker. 
 
 Two quarts of flour, one cup of granulated sugar, 
 one cup of butter, half cup of lard, one tablespoon 
 of salt, one yeast cake dissolved in half cup of warm 
 water, one pint of warm water; rub thoroughly to- 
 gether flour, sugar, butter, lard and salt, then add 
 yeast and warm water, mould into one large loaf,. 
 let rise over night then mould into loaves, let rise 
 until light, then bake. This will make three good 
 sized loaves. 
 
 BREAD. 
 
 Mrs. R. A. Wilson. 
 
 (For inexperienced housekeepers. ) 
 
 Save the water in which your potatoes for the 
 noon meal were cooked. In the evening take three- 
 pints lukewarm potato water, one tablespoon sugar, 
 one tablespoon lard, one teaspoon salt, put this into 
 a crock and stir in nine cups of flour and two-thirds 
 cup of home-made yeast, or its equivalent in dry

 yeast. (Ordinarily this amount of flour is right, al- 
 though some flour will do better with d. little less.) 
 Set this crock of sponge in flour in your bread pan, 
 cover and set in a warm place until morning. 
 Then use the warm flour and mix into a stiff dough, 
 make it stiff enough so you will not need to add 
 more flour to knead well afterward ; set in a warm 
 place until light, then knead thoroughly once and 
 set to rise again, when light divide into four equal 
 parts and make four loaves, or three loaves and 
 one pan of rolls; set in a warm place to rise, when 
 light, bake in a moderate oven three-quarters of 
 an hour. Divide the recipe for small baking.

 sifting several times together, rub in one level 
 tablespoon of butter, wet with half a pint of sweet

 toes, add tablespoon of salt and water to make as 
 thin as batter cakes — have warm as you can hold 
 your hand in— add two cakes of Yeast Foam which 
 have been soaked in lukewarm water several hours; 
 keep in warm place until fermentation ceases —

 knife. For lemon, chocolate and all pies of that 
 character, bake the crust first, prick lightly with 
 a fork to prevent blistering, then add the custard, 
 already prepared by coo king in double boiler. Thi s 
 is much better than where the custard is baked in 
 the pie.

 ''He that would have a cake out of the wheat, must tarn^ the 
 grinding Hereafter the kneading, the making of the cakes, 
 the heating of the oven, and the baking : nay, you must^stay 
 the cooling, too, or >ou may chance to burn your lips" 
 
 — Troilus and Crcssida. 
 
 Cake makers often condemn the recipe when the 
 fault lies in themselves. Here are a few general 
 rules: Always use the best materials. When 
 commencing- have all the ingredients ready, weighed 
 or measured, the tins lined with paper and greased 
 (or grease the pans, have them cold and dust well 
 with flour.) For cakes which require [long baking 
 use several layers of paper. Use granulated sugar 
 dried and sifted. Always dry the flour and sift it 
 four times with the baking powder into a dry dish. 
 In making anything of the cake kind begin with 
 the shortening and sugar, creaming them with the 
 hand in a deep earthen bowl to a light and deli- 
 cate consistency, adding the yolks of eggs, which 
 should be beaten separately from the whites, stir- 
 ring them in thoroughly with a wooden spoon ; 
 then add milk or water gradually, beating all the 
 time. This adding of the liquid slowly prevents 
 curdling. Or alternate with flour a little at a 
 time. Add flavor, then flour, and finally fold in 
 the whites of the eggs, beaten to a coarse froth, 
 Stiff enough to cut with a knife, but never to the 
 hard, dry froth which some patent Qg^ beaters 
 give. Use a fork or wire spoon for beating. In 
 the folding process the motion with the spoon is 
 from right to left.

 GOOD COFFEE. 
 
 There are four essentials to good coffee — the 
 best coffee, an egg, cream and a clean coffee pot. 
 The coffee pot should be emptied, washed and 
 scalded and dried every time it is used 
 
 Take one tablespoon of best coffee for each per- 
 son and half a pint of water, let it boil five minutes, 
 then remove from the fire at once. 
 
 To make coffee for twenty persons use one and 
 one-half pints of ground coffee. Mix with ^^g and 
 cold water and put in cheesecloth bag. Pour 
 over one gallon boiling water. Let stand where 
 it keeps hot. Serve with whipped cream. 
 
 TEA. 
 Scald tea pot and put tea in while hot, using one 
 teaspoon of tea for each person (if strong tea is 
 desired,) to one-half pint boiling water Let stand 
 a few moments before serving. 
 
 ICED TEA. 
 Make strong tea. After standing a few moments 
 to extract strength, pour off and let cool. Add 
 water to desired stren-^-th. Pour over cracked 
 ice and serve with sliced lemon.

 CHOCOLATE. 
 
 Dissolve three tablespoons of scraped chocolate, 
 or equal parts of chocolate and cocoa, in a pint of 
 boiling water and boil for fifteen minutes; add one 
 pint of rich milk; let scald and serve hot. 
 
 CHOCOLATE— VIENNA STYLE. 
 
 Four ounces of chocolate, one quart milk, three 
 tablespoons of hot water, and one tablespoon of 
 sugar. 
 
 Cut the chocolate in fine bits. Put the milk on 
 the stove in the double boiler, and when heated to 
 the boiling point, put the chocolate, sugar and 
 water in a small iron or granite-ware pan, and stir 
 over a hot fire until smooth and glossy. Stir this 
 mixture into the hot milk, and beat well with a 
 whisk. Serve at once, putting a tablespoon of 
 whipped cream in each cup and then filling up with 
 the chocolate. 
 
 The plain chocolate may be used instead of the 
 vanilla, but in that case use a teaspoon of vanilla 
 extract and three generous tablespoons of sugar 
 instead of one.

 A word we wish with every cook 
 
 Who looks within this precious book ; 
 
 Each Recipe will please, we're sure, 
 
 If every dish is clean and pure. 
 
 Before you mix we truly hope 
 
 You'll freely use "SELF- WASHING SoAP;" 
 
 The largest bar of soap in town 
 
 We think is "MAPLE CiTV BROWN;" 
 
 "Superior German" must eclipse, 
 
 The same. is true of "Laundry Chips;" 
 
 The "Alpha" comes a little late 
 
 But takes its place by big "Down WEIGHT. 
 
 We make these soaps much work to save. 
 
 And "Barbers' Bar" for men who shave. 
 
 Now if you would be neat and clean 
 
 And always ready to be seen, 
 
 "Monmouth Oat Meal" we recommend, 
 
 "Maple Boq^uet" will prove a friend. 
 
 With "Cochin Cocoa" or "Pine Tar," 
 
 Or with "Rose Bud" a lovely bar, 
 
 Or with our "AMBER Glycerine," 
 
 The clearest we have ever seen; 
 
 Or with our "Maple CitvTar," 
 
 Or with our nice big "FlYE CENT Bar," 
 
 You'll get results that always please. 
 
 And meet your guests with perfect ease, 
 
 Why use a soap of doubtful worth,

 For Maple City Soaps are pure 
 
 And they will please you we are sure.

 are clear. Try with a straw, as they became clear 
 and tender, take out in a colander, let drain, 
 do not wait until all are done, and don't put all in 
 the colander at once for if crowded they will mash,

 the syrup each day until quite thick; on the fourth 
 day add one quart of vinegar, two tablespoons of 
 stick cinnamon broken in small pieces, heap the 
 spoon and put in the syrup, one tablespoon cloves 
 pounded and tied in a cloth, drop in and cook until

 in — put in the fruit and let heat through. Put up 
 in glass jars.

 alum water, hot; let stand twenty-four hours, then

 boil the rinds in this till clear, put in jar, cover 
 and put away.

 Theo Sexton. 
 
 One-half cup of water to two of granulated su-

 place. When a little scum has formed over the 
 top, beat with a wooden spoon until it becomes a 
 soft, creamy mass. Then flavor and mould. This- 
 may be used as a foundation for any French candy.
